Updated: April 1, 2014
Applies To: System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1, System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager
The following sample queries demonstrate how to join some of the most commonly used collection views to other views.
Joining Collection Views
The following query lists the resources in the Configuration Manager hierarchy that are in a collection, the assigned site for client computers, the collection ID, collection name, and the last time the collection was refreshed. The v_FullCollectionMembership view is joined to the v_Collection view by using the CollectionID column. The query results are sorted by resource name and then by collection ID.
SELECT FCM.Name, FCM.SiteCode, FCM.CollectionID,
COL.Name, COL.LastRefreshTime
FROM v_FullCollectionMembership FCM INNER JOIN v_Collection COL
ON FCM.CollectionID = COL.CollectionID
ORDER BY FCM.Name, FCM.CollectionID
Joining Collection and Resource Views
The following query lists all of the discovered resources that do not have a Configuration Manager client installed. The query lists the domain, computer name, and all discovered IP addresses using data by joining three views. The v_CM_RES_COLL_SMS00001 collection view is joined to the v_R_System and v_RA_IPAddresses discovery views by using the ResourceID column.
SELECT SYS.Resource_Domain_OR_Workgr0, COLL1.Name,
SYSIP.IP_Addresses0
FROM v_CM_RES_COLL_SMS00001 COLL1
INNER JOIN v_R_System SYS
ON COLL1.ResourceID = SYS.ResourceID
INNER JOIN v_RA_System_IPAddresses SYSIP
ON COLL1.ResourceID = SYSIP.ResourceID
WHERE COLL1.IsClient = 0
ORDER BY SYS.Resource_Domain_OR_Workgr0, COLL1.Name
Joining Collection and Deployment Views
The following query lists all of the resources in the Configuration Manager hierarchy that have been targeted for an advertisement, as well as the source site code, advertisement ID and advertisement name, program name, and target collection name, and then it sorts the data by the name of the resource. The v_FullCollectionMembership collection view is joined to the v_Advertisement software distribution view and v_Collection collection view by using the CollectionID column.
SELECT FCM.Name AS ResourceName, FCM.ResourceID,
ADV.SourceSite, ADV.AdvertisementID, ADV.AdvertisementName,
ADV.ProgramName, COL.Name AS CollectionName
FROM v_FullCollectionMembership FCM INNER JOIN v_Advertisement ADV
ON FCM.CollectionID = ADV.CollectionID INNER JOIN
v_Collection COL ON FCM.CollectionID = COL.CollectionID
ORDER BY FCM.Name
