Empty Inventoried Software under Asset Intelligence

If you are getting nothing from the inventoried software under the Asset Intelligence, please check the Hardware Inventory Classes.

Please make sure the below are checked:

• Installed Executable – Asset Intelligence (SMS_InstalledExecutable)
• Installed Software – Asset Intelligence (SMS_InstalledSoftware)

After the SCCM Client receive the machine policy, and the hardware inventory policy ran, you should be able to have something pop up from the inventoried software list under Asset Intelligence. You can search for SMS_InstalledSoftware in the InventoryAgent.log from the client machine to check if the classes are inventoried.

SCCM 2012 Distribution Point Prerequisites – Windows Server 2003

Below is the prerequisites requirement for setting up a SCCM 2012 DP.

I would like to highlight the Remote Differential Compression prerequisites on Windows Server 2003. Remote Differential Compression is not available to be configured in the Add/Remove Windows Components like any others prerequisites. If you have missed out this prerequisite, you will not able to perform any content distribution, the operation will fail!!! Although you have checked to install IIS automatically during the DP installation, it just simply won’t install because that only available on Windows Server 2008 and above.

You can manually install the Remote Differential Compression prerequisite. It is located in the client folder, \\SCCM12\SMS_PS1\Client\i386. Look for the installer named “msrdcoob.exe”. Run the installer manually in the Windows Server 2003 and you should be able to distribute content to the DP now.
