Hello all SCCM R3, clients= Windows XP Pro SP3 Question: We're about to perform a manual inventory of all our computers. On this task is to verify if the SCCM client is installed. Besides checking the control panel > computer configuration, is there a registry key or something to validate that the installed SCCM client is actually healthy? My goal here is to run a script to check either registry setting, etc. to reduce manual labor steps (example: 1. open control panel 2. open computer configuration, etc).

Have you looked at any of the client health scripts (startup scripts) that already exist?http://www.enhansoft.com/

download and implement this startup script, it requires very little work http://blogs.catapultsystems.com/jsandys/archive/2010/12/30/updated-configmgr-startup-script.aspx It performs the basic checks for services, regkeys and ConfigMgr. version.Kent Agerlund | My blogs: http://blog.coretech.dk/author/kea/ and http://scug.dk/ | Twitter @Agerlund | Linkedin: /kentagerlund
