• when some sccm (configmgr) clients should auto approve and don't

  • sql query to find packages that are not being advertised

     select * from  v_package  where packageid not in (select PackageID from v_AdvertisementInfo)

    sql query to check package status:

    SELECT v_Package.PackageID, Name, SiteCode, ServerNALPath, State, InstallStatus

    from v_Package

    join v_PackageStatusDistPointsSumm PSUMM on v_Package.PackageID=PSUMM.PackageID where PSUMM.State = 0

    state 0 = Package installation complete

    state 1 = Waiting to Install
