SMS 2003 QUERY TO FIND IF USERS HAVE INSTALLED OFFICE XP

[tilroc]

I am deploying Office XP to our users through SMS 2003. I want to find out who has actually installed the software thus far. Does someone have a query built which will find machines that have Office XP installed on them. I have queried against the winword.exe file with the Office XP version (on my machine) but I am getting no results (when I should, at least, get one (I know there are many more).

thanks

I haven't exactly exaustively tested this but seems to work

select SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Name, SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS on SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId inner join SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM on SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName like "Microsoft Office XP Standard" order by SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Name

Basically i'm looking at the Add/Remove stuff and checking if the product name appears, only works for Standard version, you'll be able to ass extra criteria if you want.

This is even better

select SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Name, SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS on SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId inner join SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM on SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName like "Microsoft Office XP%" order by SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Name
