Sure you can do this, write a script to add the computer account into your AD security group. Then run the script during the TS.

Keep in mind that I work for Enhansoft. Therefore my view is slight biased. ;-) The question you need to ask is, how accurate do you want your results? Warranty Information Reporting (WIR) will give you accurate results. My PCs warranty on started on May 16, 2013. If I used the BIOS date, my warranty started on Sept 24 2014. That is 496 days AFTER my warranty started. If I look at the OS install date, my warranty started on Jun 19 2014, that is 399 days after the real warranty start date but almost 100 days before the BIOS date, How do you explain that to a manager?!?!?! So how accurate do you want your results? If you ever want a demo or have questions, let me know and I will do my best to make sure that I’m the one doing the demo.

This is going to happen with one of three reasons, Software Inventory is not enabled (and IMO it should never be in the first place) After your site restore you didn’t fix up clients You site restore didn’t work. I’m not sure how you restored a site without a back up!

In CM12, those items are inventory by default, you need to enable them in the client setting.

The column to add for user name is sys.user_name0 to your query above.

Your best bet is to contact 1E, support. They will tell you exactly how to do it in a supported manner. Correctly me if I'm wrong but Nomad can be configured to use a percentage of the network bandwidth.

Divide by 1024 to get MB/GB.

No idea why it is not installed. Have you looked at the logs file to file out why?

Look at your screen above notice that you have yet to install the CM12 client on that computer. Notice it say Client No for WP06i002

Did you notice that WP06i002 is not a CM12 Client yet. I would look at fixing that.

It is not a silly question, I use too many acronyms. ;-) BIDS = SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio. It is similar to Report Builder but I has a bit more functionality.

There is no trick to this. You need to create a custom report (I recommend BIDS), which in the case is your dashboard. To make it useful make sure you included drill downs to show details for the data. For example you can create a dashboard like this http://www.enhansoft.com/blog/new-system-center-endpoint-protection-scep-ssrs-reports-webcast, then drill down to another report detail report.

So what you try to use the report above to do what you want then? There are lots of examples on my blog of queries with collections.

This will help you. http://www.enhansoft.com/blog/how-to-perform-a-full-hardware-inventory-for-a-pc-collection-the-easy-way

Is the MP listed in the log file the correct one? If it is then you need to re-check your CM12 client package and ensure that all the setting are correct.

How exactly did you setup you adr?

The error say there are no DP available. Have you deploy the CM12 client to your DPs? Have you enable the Failback option on the package?

For SQL issues, you should contact Microsoft support directly for support. Editing the database is unsupported with CSS help.

Client push is perfect it doesn't need the AD container. As to why client push is not working look at the ccm.log to find the error.

There isn't much to tell, once the client are assigned, it will just work. As for assigned the site there again is much to tell either, but it will depend on how you are installing the client. So how are you installing the client?

IMO I see no reason why the AD admin shouldn’t give your or SCCM full access rights to the System Management container. What is the worst thing that can happen? You delete all the object form the container? So what they will get automatic get recreated within a few minutes. Yes you can use SCCM without accessing the System Management container, it just means that your client will not be able to automatically assign themselves to your site. It also means that they will not able about to locate content locations from AD, instead they will use the MP.

Which setting you do enable? When did you enable it? How are you creating this list of software?

From what I can see from your screenshot there is nothing wrong with your DP. You have already deploy the image to it. Are you trying to update the Image?

I hate to say it but it is really hard to answer questions like this in a forum. There are just too many vars., except is very rare cases, NO CAS! Take Brandon: What create a secondary in Brandon, MB? (BTW I have been there and Virden MB too! Hi from Ottawa) How any users/computers are there? What is the network like? (is it slow, do we need to protect the site, if so why? etc.) Are there any techs there? How much bandwidth is there? Is there anything special about this site? What SLA do you have in Place? How are you planning on do patching? What percentage are you clients model? What OS is installed at these sites? Etc. For CM12 How often are you preform HW inventory? What about upgrading OS? Etc. CM12 is a huge product and I would personally recommend that you hire a consultant with experience, work with them to create the design. The key is work with them more as a mentor than a contractor. That is my two Canadian cents.
