Gents, Do you konw if there is a way to configure the client settings so as to block application and package deployment and only allow software updates deployment ? I would like to deploy this client on servers in order to be sure that no applications can be install by mistakes. Sypa

I've been tasked by management to provide a report out of SCCM Report Manager showing all the windows updates that have been applied to a particular device collection. In this case, it's the servers collection. Is there a report already available that I'm missing, or how can I create this report so management can run it out of Report Manager?

Hello I'm having a problem with my patch management colletion queries. We want to make sure that we do not include manually patched servers in our SCCM patch management, and want to control this through a Exclusion group in AD. I'm having a hard time getting the correct results though. I want to include servers in Group A, and I want to remove servers that is included in Group B. The point is to remove servers that is in both groups. As a kind of fail safe. I've gotten this far: select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System where SMS_R_System.SystemGroupName like "Domain\\G_Patch_server_Pilot" and SMS_R_System.ResourceId not in (select ResourceID from SMS_R_System where SMS_R_System.SystemGroupName = "Domain\\G_Patch_server_Exclusions") This gives me the servers in G_Patch_server_Pilot group from the correct domain, but it does not honor the Exclusion groups that is not supposed to be added to the query. If I do the same query with OU's, I get the desired result: select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System where SMS_R_System.SystemOUName like "Domain.com/Machines/Servers" and SMS_R_System.ResourceId not in (select ResourceID from SMS_R_System where SMS_R_System.SystemOUName = "Domain.com/Machines/Servers/Database") This query will exclude the sub OU called Databases. We can not however, base this on OU's as there is different types of servers that need to be excluded. What am I doing wrong here?
