Good Day All.

I would like to create a Software Baseline of 14 apps in SCCM 2012 R2, then run a compliance report against that baseline to check how many clients are compliant to that software, so that i can know we need to update x amount of clients to run the baseline software, Now the million dollar question is how do i go about to get this process up and running? I have asset intelligence up and running as well.

No most of the software is not installed on the devices, i need a report that will tell me if the devices is compliant against the Baseline, I.E can the pcs run the baseline apps o=with their current hardware, and if not, i know i must upgrade those devices.

You should explain the exact way to determine the state of the computers first. 

Plus: this forum is based on voluntary work of community members. You should open a call at Microsoft if it is urgent. 

Using compliance settings here probably isn't the best approach since compliance items don't have a built in way to detect if software is installed or not.

Since you have AI up and running though, the data is already in the DB so there's no specific need here to re-query the systems which is what compliance settings does. Using AI, you can create a custom label and tag all of the software you are interested in with this label. From there, the built-in reports will handle reporting which systems have software installed that has this custom label.

Hi Nerotoxin,

I did a blog post on how to use the custom labels from Asset Intelligence and create reports based on the labels last week.

From there, you will be able to configure and inventory the 14 apps you need. 

Let me know if you need help.

Hi,  I think we are looking for the same thing similar to this but we would like for the system to compare the system over time (every 14 day) and look for changes.  I would prefer not to have to manually input all of the software to look for.  Is there a way of doing this?
