Re: [mssms] How to get a list of browsers, versions, plug-ins, and browser history?
If I had to do this I would use this utility http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/browsing_history_view.html And script a solution that put the information into WMI somewhere. It includes the url, the user, how many times they accessed the site, and with what browser. He already did all the heavy lifting, you would just need to stick into WMI and collect it. I would recommend implementing a GPO that prevented users from deleting the browser history http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd349812.aspx Then I would set the number of days to retain history using GPO Disable “Configuring History” Here is a good guide http://maximumpcguides.com/windows-7/disable-configuring-history-in-internet-explorer/ Despite the naysayers I think It could be done as long as you do not want to run a report like all browser history for all users for all time Maybe only run the script to collect the data once a week so the differences do not keep coming up in HINV files and do not go into inventory history in the database Even better would be to run it every X days where X coincides with number of days to keep history and your delete aged inventory history settings Also if you have a large site and a small server this might not be a good idea. But if you are asking how to do this I doubt you are on a large site with a proxy server etc because that is the appropriate place to do this, not sccm. But, it can be done, and not too difficult either. Sherry could pound this out in an hour or 2 quite easily.

[mssms] Local Cache Versions
Question about the local cache. The common scenario I run into (common for me at least) is I have an app that I push out to a machine and it downloads to cache. Then I realize I need to make a change to the install script for example so I update the content to include the new version of the install script (rest of the files stay the same). As you know, it creates a new cache folder for the new version that's identical to the old version, just the script file has been updated. Why wouldn't it just update the one file that has changed in the existing cache folder? Seems to me that this is just needlessly taking up extra space. Especially if the app is several hundred MB, not only does it take extra time to re-download the entire package source but it would also require double the hdd space. It did that in 2007 as well (correct me if I'm wrong) so I guess I'm just curious if anyone knows the reasoning behind that - maybe I'm not thinking of something. What's the logic for keeping old versions of cache if its never going to be used again? And also, is there a way to programmatically remove the cache folder for an old version? Or does it do that on its own after a certain period of time?

RE: [mssms] SCCM 2012 + Collecting sqlserver info within Hardware Inventory?
I think you're stuck with the three inventory specifications.
I looked at this a couple weeks ago and found the local WMI view provider to be
a limiter. I was hoping to create a custom WMI class that joined the various
source locations of the SQL data. Unfortunately, the view provider fails to
perform the join if any specified class does not exist or does not have
instances. I'm not a WMI expert and could have missed something that would
have allowed this to work.
A second thought was to deploy a script that could detect valid SQL classes and
dynamically create the class described above. That was a bit complex though.
In the end, I just modified my configuration mof to add the three SQL classes
and then created a SCCM SQL view that performed a Union All on the three newly
created inventory tables.
The data was being consumed by another solution, so presentation in SCCM wasn't
important.
If I had time, I'd probably opt for my second option since it would keep things
cleaner -even though implementation would be a bit more complex and it relied
on sw dist.

RE: [mssms] Remove Old Flash
Just in case... someone mentioned that here at work recently. What someone said... But I haven't confirmed, is that even tho you don't need a reboot... post reboot for any other reason and the old files are gone. Just in case you haven't checked if that's the case for you, it's worth a try before you script something. On May 2, 2014 8:31:31 AM CDT, Marcum, John jmar...@babc.com wrote: Thanks!

Re: [mssms] SCCM 2012 + Collecting sqlserver info within Hardware Inventory?
Use this:
http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2012/02/21/installed-sql-05-sql08-and-sql12-version-information-via-configmgr-hardware-inventory/
I haven't checked yet if I need to update that for sql 2014 I'll probably
know that next week

The Class ID seems to be the same but the namespace will vary.
Below is a snip it from the exported mof from SCCM 2012 on this

RE: [mssms] Remove Old Flash
I also found that 12 didn’t always uninstall cleanly when upgrading from 12 to
13, I’ve included a specific msiexec /x uninstall argument in that script now.
Seems that at some point, the automatic removal part of the adobe flash active
x install started to become unreliable. Note that the script removes the
previous version of 13 and not 12 but you just need to change the script re:
MSI codes from the registry.
Cheers

Adobe has a Flash uninstaller that you can get from their site,
uninstall_flash_player.exe that is supposed to
uninstall older versions. I beleive the silent switch is -uninstall.
