SCCM SQL Query to Find Out IE Version with OS Details of Workstations Configuration Manager ConfigMgr

SCCM SQL Query to Find Out IE Version with OS Details of Workstations Configuration Manager ConfigMgr? In this post, I will share the SQL query to fetch IE version details from SCCM/ConfigMgr DB.

Microsoft released a new version of the browser called Microsoft Edge as part of Windows 10. Microsoft (they) announced that Internet Explorer 11 would be the only supported version of IE as we advance.

To fetch the information about IE versions from SCCM/ConfigMgr, we need to enable Software Inventory. However, SCCM software inventory is not very popular among MVPs. I don’t recommend enabling it to inventory all the exe file versions; instead, I would allow selective inventory on selective folders, as you can see in the following screen capture.

One of our posts shows how to fix SCCM SQL Replication Issues using the Replication Link Analyzer tool. The tool has been the savior of many replication issues within the recent builds of Configuration Manager.

SCCM SQL Query to Find Out IE Version with OS Details? – SCCM SQL Query to Find Out IE Version with OS Details of Workstations Configuration Manager ConfigMgr

In case you want to take the inventory of Microsoft Edge, then you can collect the information of the “MicrosoftEdge.exe” file from the following location:

“%windir%\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\”

In the following SQL query, I used SQL Inner Join and Left Join along with CASE (SQL CASE is a unique conditional statement providing if/then/else logic for any ordinary SQL command, such as SELECT or UPDATE).

The following SQL query fetches the workstation’s Internet Explorer version details from SCCM/ConfigMgr DB. It also provides the workstations’ SCCM site code, Location Details, and Operating System details.
