Count of instances of specific software registered with Add or Remove Programs – Wrong counts SCCM 2012
The problem with the query is that there can be multiple ProdID’s for the same DisplayName0, Publisher0, Version0 returned. So it counts them all, skewing the expected result. I fixed this by changing Count(ProdID0) to Count(Distinct arp.ResourceID) in the dataset… SELECT DisplayName0, COUNT(DISTINCT arp.ResourceID) AS ‘Count’, Publisher0, Version0, @CollID AS CollectionID FROM fn_rbac_Add_Remove_Programs(@UserSIDs) arp JOIN […]
Configuration Manager 2012: SQL XPATH Query for Deployment Type
Below is an example of how to write a SQL XPATH query to extract details from a deployment type CI contained in an XML data type. In this query we are returning columns for deployment type Title, SDMPackageDigets (XML), Technology (MSI, Script, etc.), Content Location, and Install and Uninstall strings. I basically found an example […]

SCCM 2012 Poor Console Performance In Software Updates
UPDATE 5/21/2013: Just heard from the MVP community that some folks are referencing this article to improve performance: http://ola.hallengren.com/sql-server-index-and-statistics-maintenance.html From within Microsoft SQL Management Studio, run the query below to check fragmentation: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 SELECT a.index_id, name, avg_fragmentation_in_percent FROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats (NULL,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL) AS a JOIN […]
Script to fix duplicate SMS/SCCM GUID’s
I recently had an interesting issue come about with a bunch of old school legacy machines scattered around several offices that contained identical disk images and SMS/SCCM agent GUID’s. The unintended consequences of this situation are computers improperly referenced in a collection plan. In addition machines were improperly re-imaged and applications inadvertently deployed.
