Hi!

You mean an application which can't be installed via SMS?

Which software do you mean?

Friendly regards,
Gerhard

No - what I want to do is to make a report/list off all the software that are installed on clients in my network that have not been distributed by the SMS server.

For example, if someone has installed Winamp manually, I want to Winamp to show up in that list.

Ok.

We have just a query with which it is possible to search for specific software over all the systems (Add/Remove Programs Display name is like <promptet value>).

I don't think that you can query if the software was installed via sms or not.

regards,
Gerhard

Just off the top of my head, I would:

1. Write a VBScript to create a NOIDMIF that contains information found under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Mobile Client\Software Distribution\Execution History\System". Each subkey represents an SMS package id, which has program name, status, etc.

2. Write a report which compares the package name retrieved from v_Package, via the package id from NOIDMIF, to DisplayName0 and/or Publisher0 from v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.

This, of course, requires that your package names be similar to what's listed in ADD/REMOVE programs.

But, hey, it's a place to start and something is better than nothing!
