Lots of good ideas, but I think what is going to throw things off is that they want to know when the machine is physically connected and not just connected via the VPN. The whole thing sounds like they want evaluate a symptom and would be better to check what they actually want to accomplish while they are connected, like a file version or date.
Thanks for the suggestions.

You could even use a SCCM collection to contain the computer names that you could then get via PowerShell to check against DHCP. Just a thought.

Maybe also software metering on an exe that you have set to run when it detects that the machines are inside the network?

I assume they connect via a VPN or IBCM when not in these physical offices? Daniel Ratliff From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Atkinson, Matt Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2014 3:04 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [mssms] SCCM report request that I don't think can be completed Just going to throw this out there and see if anyone has a suggestion, I don’t think this is possible to accomplish with SCCM. We’ve got a group of laptop users that have been required to come to one of our physical locations and connect via cable to the network for a certain amount of time every 30 days. Now I’m being asked for a report to see how many of those users are actually doing that. To my knowledge, the closest that I might be able to get would be to get a list of IP addresses that the machine has been issued, but I don’t think there is any way to track the duration for how long a machine was connected. If you’ve got ideas, I’m all ears (eyes?)
