Remotely determine if Configuration Manager is installed

[taurus905]

When Configuration Manager is installed on a Windows 7 pc, it shows in Control Panel.

I'd like to use WMI to query remote PCs to see if Configuration Manager is installed.

Or, is there another way to accomplish the same goal?

Thank you in advance.

The configuration manager is I believe is a snap-in. You should be able to determine this in Active Directory.

Thanks for the suggestion, Bert. But I didn't have any luck finding anything along those lines.

However, I did find this:

http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrdogs/archive/2014/09/05/wmi-powershell-and-the-configuration-manager-client.aspx

(Invoke-WMIMethod -ComputerName $remoteMachine –Namespace root\ccm –Class SMS_Client –Name GetAssignedSite).sSiteCode

Now I will just turn the powershell command into an AutoIt script with a list of my 800+ PCs. Where the command fails, Configuration Manager is not installed on that machine.

This function is native to windows, but its a little slow in my experience.

Wmic does what you are talking about without needing to enable powershell scripts (which if you don't have admin access on the machine, you won't be able to enable)

Why not just use the SCCM db itself to query for which machines have an active heartbeat? You can use the SCCM UDF in my signature to do it a couple of different ways:

 

return all good heartbeats:

#include <_SCCM.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Local $sServer = "afic-sccm"
Local $sCode = "P01"

_SCCM_Connect($sServer, $sCode)
    If Not @error Then $myReturn = _SCCM_Search("")
    If IsArray($myReturn) Then _ArrayDisplay($myReturn)

Search just for one machine:

#include <_SCCM.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Local $sServer = "afic-sccm"
Local $sCode = "P01"

_SCCM_Connect($sServer, $sCode)
    If Not @error Then $myReturn = _SCCM_Search("ThatPeskyPC")
        ConsoleWrite(((IsArray($myReturn)) ? "Asset not found in database" : "Asset alive and responding to heartbeat") & @CRLF)

​Thank you for the link, Jewtus.

It will come in handy in the future. Luckily, I do have admin access to all of our PCs.

​Hello JLogan3o13,

Great UDF!

This will save me so much time.

Thank you for making it available to all of the AutoIt community.
