How can I export all Applications in Config Manager with details

Question

_{Thursday, March 10, 2016 9:16 AM}

Hi Guys,

I'm searching for a way to export  a list of all my sccm 2012 applications including details such as

- Application name and version - creation date - number of deployments - Application category - and if there is dependencies or not.

I would also like to know ih it's possible to combine in the result the target collections of the deployments if ther is some.

I'm aware i can get part of this if applications are located under the "APPLICATIONS" node, but the actual customer puts subfolders for each app.

I would appreciate some help with this

In the Software Library workspace, if you select Applications, click in the Search filed, select All Subfolders from the ribbon bar under the search tab, enter something like Active in the in search field, and then finally hit the Search button, you will get a list of all Applications even those in subfolders.

There's no built-in report, but I doubt it would be too difficult to create.

Finally, you can use PowerShell and the Get-CMApplication cmdlet: http://systemcenterme.com/list-applications-in-configuration-manager-2012/

What's your main goal? Exporting them and then?

The clients wants me to deliver that export as an excel file. I guess his purpose is to have a global vision without having to use the console to get single information when needed.

Just to give more information, i started looking at the powershell "Get-CMApplication" cmdlet, but i'm not familiar and have no clue how to get informations needed from there.

Maybe i'm not focussing on the correct method

I guess his purpose is

It would be better if you knew what he wants to see exactly. Otherwise it's impossible to tell you how to achieve that.

Ok... First of all, thank you for answering my post.

(and all your activity aroud here. some of your topics already got me out of trouble, so...)

I just had a quick words on his purpose that can be summerized as this:

- have a reference file of applications available in SCCM

- with application versions he can see easily if some can or have to be updated

- with the target collections (based on AD groupmemberships), he can tell the frontdesk teams ther exact group to putt a user in in order to have the application available or deployer (depending on deployment parameters)
