    Hello,

    the organization I work has computers that often move departments and it seems when a computer is renamed in AD it doesnt update the record in SCCM. Is there a way for me to report on the asset tag of a computer? This asset tag is not hard coded into the computer but is part of the computer name. so for instance a computer could have been named RC1IS11111111 but was renamed to RC2IS11111111. So I would need to report on the 11111111, ofcourse that number changes. I want to see all duplicates...

    Thanks

    Actually there is a typo in it.. I used “5” for the starting point, however I should have use "6", as this is the first character of the TAG.

    Change all three "5" to "6".

    Yes you can do that but the question is, is the asset tag always the last 10 character of the PC name? <o:p></o:p>

    Sorry maybe a bad example. The asset tag is always the numbers.

    But is it always the last 8 characters or can it vary for 5 to 10 characters?

    Because it is a range it will be difficult to write a query for it. Furthermore it will be hard to compare it to other as a TAG simply because 54321 will match 4321 if you only compare the last 4 characters. In order to make this work you need to define something unique about the PC Name, in order to use that as a key. so what is your naming standard? What can be used as a key?

    write up simple query that pulls all the machine name from Database and use Right function to get only last 7 letters from computer name.

    function looks like

    Select RIGHT('Hello1234567',7) will give '1234567'

    if it varies from 4-6 or something,would be difficult to trace all in one report

    Our naming standard goes like this :

    Building Code : First 3 characters - RC1 (This will change depending on building)

    Department Code : Characters 4 and 5 - IS (This again will change depending on department)

    Asset Tag : Last 7 characters - This always stays the same as it is the tag we also use for inventory.

    Hi RCCMG,

    try the below query which will full fill your requirement.

    SELECT DISTINCT RIGHT (SYS.NAME0, 8) as 'Computer Name', OPSYS.CAPTION0 AS 'Operating System', OPSYS.CSDVERSION0 AS 'Service Pack', SYS1.USER_NAME0 AS 'User Name' FROM V_GS_SYSTEM AS SYS
    JOIN V_GS_OPERATING_SYSTEM AS OPSYS ON OPSYS.RESOURCEID=SYS.RESOURCEID
    JOIN V_R_SYSTEM AS SYS1 ON SYS1.RESOURCEID=SYS.RESOURCEID

    Ur's -> SithaYuvaraj.

    Well, assuming that is working as I want it gives me 4 records. If that is the case SCCM is a lot cleaner then I thought. Thanks for the help!
