This information is being collected by the SMS Provider and sent back to be shown in the console. When you are working in the ConfigMgr console, almost anywhere you click you’re querying the database for information. Now that we’ve created the query to get devices that has Silverlight installed, we need to get our hands on the SQL query statement. Click Next again on the Summary page and then click Close. If you’ve never creating a query before, I suggest that you read this.Ħ. This post will not cover the basics of creating a Query. Click on Show Query Language and paste the following WQL query into the Query Statement field: select SMS_R_System.Name, SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName, SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.Version from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS on SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName like "Microsoft Silverlight" In my lab I’ll just choose the All Systems collection.ĥ.

In this post I’ll walk through the steps to create a custom report for usage in the ConfigMgr console, and the best part, you don’t need any knowledge on how to write SQL queries. You could of course search the internet and hope that somene else has already published a query for exactly what you’re trying to accomplish, but most of the time you’ll not find what you’re looking for. What most of them lack though is how to create the actual query part of the report. If you search on google for how to create a custom report you’ll get several great articles/posts on the subject. But sometimes the built in reports that Microsoft has provided is not enough. Reporting in ConfigMgr 2012 is a powerful way to get alot of information about almost everything in your environment.
