Hi,

We have a requirement to report the date and time of all the systems reporting to SCCMnot sure if this is possible.

Appreciate any help regarding this.

Thanks

You can use the client Status reports found in R2/R3. They are part of the Client Status feature.

thanks but our requirement is to get the 'current' date and time. :(

Not sure I understand what you are asking. Do you want to get the date/time for the last hardware inventory, heartbeat discovery etc?

ConfigMgr is not a real-time system so gathering results in real-time is not possible. ConfigMgr returns clients results and information through scheduled inventories -- hardware and software -- or scheduled tasks like heartbeat, dcm baselines or software metering. The key word here being scheduled.

At best, you could try to return the date and time at a certain scheduled time, but your results will vary based on the state of the system and when it actually runs the task.

What's the question trying to be answered with this data?

Thanks Kent & Jason..

Apologize for the confusion..We wanted to know if we will be able to get the current time of all the machines. This was because we wanted to test the current time stamp between 2 machines to know if there is any difference. Guess we got the answer now..

I had a similar need and I was able to get the results I needed by querying the current tz offset. It doesn't confirm the actual time but it does confirm that the machine changed it's time automatically. If we were in standard time then the offset would be -300 and the daylight in effect would be no. I threw in last hw scan to make sure they had scanned after the dst change.
