Problem:

For some time I had WSUS and Microsoft SCCM integrated together but installed on seperate servers, recently I wanted to break the integration so I removed the software update role from SCCM but I found that reporting on the WSUS server no longer worked, no machines had reported their status since SCCM was configured.

Cause:

Apparently when you integrate SCCM with an existing WSUS server by default SCCM takes over the reporting meaning the WSUS Server no longer records the status of machines etc.

This page will go though how to create a "Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007" collection that contains all systems that do not have a specific exe file at a certain version present on any local drive.

I personally use this method to distribute software to systems that either do that have it already or have an old version installed.

The aim of this article is to configure Microsoft System Centre Configureation Manager 2007 SP1 or R2 to report on the locally installed printers, this in my case is very useful for reporting on printers installed and shared on our Print Server.

The fields we will report on are Netbios name of the computer, ShareName, Driver Name, Location, Port Name and Print processor but there are several other fields you can add.

This article assumes you already have SCCM up and running
