In-Depth Information
classes and attributes have default values. However, by including specific object types,
attribute classes, and attributes, you can ensure that you do not have an overly large number
of results, which can be unwieldy.
If you use the default values and your default query returns a large number of attributes,
you can limit the number of attributes that appear. To do this, perform the following steps:
1. In the Query Properties dialog box, click Edit Query Statement.
2. In the Query Statement Properties dialog box, on the General tab, configure the
attributes that you want to view in the results.
If you want to restrict the results that are returned to only attributes with specific values,
use the Criteria tab to specify the attribute class and attribute along with the value that you
want to find. You do not need to use the same attributes on the General tab that you use on
the Criteria tab. For example, on the General tab, you might include attributes such as
Computer Name or IP Address to identify specific computers. However, your criteria could
be to restrict the results to a specific driver version.
If your query includes attributes from more than one attribute class, you can join or link
the attribute classes so the displayed data for each accurately relates to that for the other.
When you select an attribute on either the General tab or the Criteria tab, Configuration
Manager creates a suitable join for the attribute class automatically. For example, if you build
a query to display all computers with 4 gigabytes (GB) of random access memory (RAM) and
with Microsoft Office installed, the data is joined automatically because both tables have a
key field that identifies the device from which the data was collected. For advanced queries,
you can use the Joins tab to link attributes manually from multiple attribute classes.
Coniguration Manager reporting
For reporting to function in Configuration Manager, you must install a SQL Server
Reporting Services (SSRS) server that is running the same version of SQL Server as the site
database server. You can use any supported version of SQL Server:
SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (SP2) with cumulative update (CU) 9 or newer
SQL Server 2008 SP3 with CU 4 or newer
SQL Server 2008 R2 with SP1 and CU 6 or newer
SQL Server 2008 R2 with SP2
SQL Server 2012 with CU 2 or newer
SQL Server 2012 SP1
SQL Server 2014
You can install SSRS on the site server or on a remote site system. However, for optimal
performance, you should install SSRS on a remote site system server.
