Let’s use SQL queries to analyze SCCM Client Inactive Obsolete Status. I keep getting questions about ConfigMgr SQL queries in the HTMD forum.
If you have inactive SCCM clients, adjust the client status settings at the site level. These settings determine when to mark clients as inactive and can be configured to send alerts for low client activity. Afterwards, use the Configuration Manager console to monitor client health and activity.
According to Microsoft, a device is online when connected to its assigned management point and sends regular messages. The client is offline if the management point doesn’t receive notifications for five minutes. A client is active if it has communicated with Configuration Manager in the past seven days and inactive if it hasn’t requested a policy update, sent a heartbeat message, or sent hardware inventory in seven days.
I found a helpful SQL query for identifying ConfigMgr client status based on collections. This query can teach you how to use a CASE statement, declare SCCM collections, and inner join two ConfigMgr views in a SQL query. It’s a great way to learn important SQL query syntaxes that can be useful for working with ConfigMgr and understanding its data sources better.

SQL Query – SCCM Client InActive Obsolete Status
Let’s find out the SCCM client’s Active, Inactive, and obsolete Status. The following steps will help you create a custom report to determine the status of the active, inactive, and obsolete Configuration Manager clients.
- Open the SQL Management Studio.
- Click on the New Query button.
- Select the CM_MEM database from the drop-down menu.
- MEM is the ConfigMgr site code.
Copy the following SQL query to find the client status.
- Click on the Execute button.
Declare @Collection varchar(8)
Set @Collection = 'SMS00001'
select Distinct
sys.name0 AS 'Device',
CASE WHEN sys.Client0 = 1 THEN 'YES' WHEN sys.Client0 = 0 THEN 'NO' ELSE 'NA' END AS 'ConfigMgr Client',
CASE WHEN sys.active0 = 1 THEN 'YES' WHEN sys.active0 = 0 THEN 'NO' ELSE 'NA' END AS 'Active Client',
CASE WHEN sys.Obsolete0 = 1 THEN 'YES' WHEN sys.Obsolete0 = 0 THEN 'NO' ELSE 'NA' END AS 'Obsolete Client'
from v_r_system Sys
INNER Join v_FullCollectionMembership Col on Sys.ResourceID = Col.ResourceID
where Col.CollectionID = @CollectionResults – SCCM Client InActive Obsolete Status
Let’s see the results of the above client status SQL query:
| Device | ConfigMgr Client | Active Client | Obsolete Client |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADMEMCM | NA | NA | NA |
| CMMEMCM | NA | NA | NA |
| CMMEMCMTP01 | NA | NA | NA |
| PROD-WIN10TEST | NA | NA | NA |
| PROD-WIN20 | YES | YES | NO |
| SQLMEMCM | NA | NA | NA |
| TPCMMEMCM | NA | NA | NA |
