Thought experiment
Contoso Asset Intelligence
You want to find out more about how applications are being used at Contoso. To
accomplish this goal, you have implemented Configuration Manager. After experi-
menting with the various settings, determine the answers to the following ques-
tions:
1. What must you enable to view information about users who have run a specific
executable?
2. You run an Asset Intelligence report to find computers that multiple users are
using, but the report displays no records. How can you troubleshoot and correct
the issue?
Objective summary
In the Monitoring workspace of the Configuration Manager console, you can monitor
all deployments, including software updates, compliance settings, applications, task
sequences, packages, and programs.
Applications in Configuration Manager support state-based monitoring, which you can
use to track the last application deployment state for users and devices.
Asset Intelligence enhances Configuration Manager's inventory capabilities by extend-
ing hardware inventory and adding functionality for license reporting.
You can use Asset Intelligence hardware requirements to provide data to help verify
that computers meet hardware requirements for software titles before you target them
for deployment.
Software metering enables you to monitor program usage on Configuration Manager
client computers.
The Software Metering Agent reports software-metering data based on the site's
software-metering rules.
The Summarize Software Metering tasks perform data summarization to reduce the
amount of data that the Configuration Manager site database stores.
Objective review
