AnswerCount of all instances of software registered with Add or Remove Programs fails

    If I try it from the Primary server (Windows 2008 SP1 x64 running SCCM 2007 SP1 wR2), I get

    http internal server error 500.  I have tried adding rowcount under the Reporting key in the registry and set the dword value to 200000.  I did not reboot the server.

    I also tried looking for the aspbufferlimit but that doesn't exist in the metabase.xml on Server 2008.  Other reports work fine.  Any ideas?

    You may want to rethink what you will really do with a report that has over 10000 rows in the first place.  I've had requests for massive reports in the past, and when the people asking receive the data, they usually want is broken down in some manner.

    One option would be to take the report code and simply paste it into SQL Management Studio, and run it from there.  Replace any variables with the actual values you want to query against.  You can then export the data from there.

    A similar conversation regarding SMS 2003 reporting limits can be found at http://www.myitforum.com/forums/m_72860/tm.htm

    A different approach would be to look at the Asset Management: Software 6A - Search for Installed Software report.

    Hi,

    What if you change RowCount to 0xffffffff (hex)?

    same thing...is a reboot important after changing the value?...I have the dword right under Reporting not under Reporting\Sitecode.  Is that right?  I picked 32-bit dword too

    It looks like running Report Software 6A works.  It starts to error somewhere between 4225 rows and 4250

    Thanks

    So do you have what you want now? If so, then can you mark the question as answered?
