Hello, this is my first post here, I have more than 13 years of experience in ConfigMgr. I’m going to start a series of posts related SQL and WQL queries (SQL Query) to help SCCM admins.

TL;DR
Introduction
When it comes to your SCCM Infrastructure cleanup we all try to push the task to the next available engineer because of the manual efforts involved as well as too many steps. Also there are chances of Human Error in Manual cleanup/deletion.
Scope
Scope: This work instruction applies to the ConfigMgr Delivery Team. It doesn’t cover other team tasks.
We will try to cover all those steps involved in complete infrastructure cleanup starting with Application Cleanup as 1st task.
Follow the thread to get regular updates. Query Written by Karthikeyan A.
Application Cleanup All Applications with no deployments or task sequences Linked status.
SQL Query
select
apps.DisplayName as 'ApplicationName',
apps.Softwareversion as 'Version',
pkg.PackageID,
CASE pkg.PackageType
WHEN 0 THEN 'Package'
WHEN 3 THEN 'Driver'
WHEN 4 THEN 'TaskSequence'
WHEN 5 THEN 'SoftwareUpdate'
WHEN 6 THEN 'DeviceSettings'
WHEN 7 THEN 'Virtual'
WHEN 8 THEN 'Application'
WHEN 257 THEN 'Image'
WHEN 258 THEN 'BootImage'
WHEN 259 THEN 'OSInstall'
END AS 'PackageType',
apps.NumberOfDeploymentTypes as 'NoofDT',
apps.NumberOfDeployments,
apps.NumberOfDependentTs
from fn_ListLatestApplicationCIs(1033) apps
left join v_TaskSequencePackageReferences tspr on tspr.ObjectID = apps.ModelName
left join vSMS_ApplicationAssignment ass on ass.AssignedCI_UniqueID = apps.CI_UniqueID
left join v_Package pkg on pkg.SecurityKey = apps.ModelName
where
PackageType = 8
and apps.IsLatest=1
and ass.AssignmentName IS NULL
and tspr.PackageID IS NULL
and apps.NumberOfDeployments = 0
and apps.NumberOfDependentTs = 0
and apps.IsLatest=1
order by apps.DisplayName
It is very much helpful
Thank you.
In which way that query would help an SCCM admin?
What you think ? Just to check the apps with out any deployment … what you think would be useful pls
I agree that this query is helpful in identifying “empty” (for lack of a better term) applications that are just taking up space in your ConfigMgr (EndpointMgr) environment… but there is a scenario where you do not want to delete an application that you’re no longer deploying — if you have a newer application that you have supersedence configured for to ensure that the ConfigMgr client removes the previous app and installs the latest one.
In those cases, you just simply need to monitor compliance for the previous application and as soon as you have no instances of it in your environment, you can remove the supersedence configuration on the newer application and delete the older application with no deployments.
Hi All,
Would like to know how we can get the total number of PC’s with a particular application and version
Try our site https://forum.howtomanagedevices.com/.
v_Package pkg on pkg.SecurityKey = apps.ModelName
this information shows information only for applications as apps.model name contains only scope*** and no id’s contains, which is not available for other packages, drivers etc…
