System Center Configuration Manager Inventory Import

Use this page to scan and display hosts connected to the upstream System Center

Configuration Manager. Scan results are obtained from the data collected by the System

Center Configuration Manager software inventory agent, which avoids the need to install the

Secunia CSI agent on each client. To be able to detect missing Microsoft security patches then

you will need a connection to your Software Update Point (Patching > Configuration >

WSUS/SCCM (Connected)) otherwise the scan will be Partial.

The System Center Configuration Manager software inventory agent must be configured and

running prior to loading the System Center Configuration Manager inventory page. The

inventory agent is configured by a set of simple rules that govern which files are queried. To

produce the best possible scan result using System Center Configuration Manager, the Secunia

CSI uses a relatively broad pattern, which could lead to large amounts of data being collected.

If all file data is collected, a file size of between 5 and 10 MB for a single host is not

uncommon, and the SQL server must be dimensioned to handle this.

System Center Configuration Manager integration requires the following prerequisites:

1. Setting up authentication. The user running the CSI console must have access to the

database containing the data of the System Center Configuration Manager. For System

Center 2012 Configuration Manager the database is named CM_<site_code> and for

System Center Configuration Manager 2007 it is named SMS_<site_code>. To add

permissions, open SQL Server Management Studio, right-click the appropriate database,

navigate to permissions and add Connect and Select rights.

2. Setting up the software inventory agent. Assuming that the System Center

Configuration Manager site has been set up, open the System Center Configuration

Manager console and ensure that the System Center Configuration Manager client (agent)

is installed on the hosts to be scanned. In System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, go

to Devices and right-click Install client. Then go to Administration > Client Settings

> Properties > Software Inventory. To configure the broadest possible pattern, select

File Detail: full and add the patterns *.dll, *.exe, *.ocx. Do not exclude the Windows

directory. Less data will be generated by specifying a narrower pattern, however, the

quality of the scan result will suffer.

3. In addition, you might want to consider increasing the software inventory file size from the

default of 5 MB to 12 MB. To accomplish this, change the following registry key on the

System Center Configuration Manager Server:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_SOFTWARE_INVENTORY_PROCESSOR\Max File Size

Click Configure SCCM. In the CSI SCCM Configuration page, enter the SCCM Server Name

and click Save.

If you select Manual, enter the SQL Host, SQL Port and SQL Database connection data and

click Save.
