SCCM Collection Query for Devices with specific software installed and version or below

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

If you need to identify machines with specific software installed on a device but would also like to know whether they have a certain version of the stated software or below, then you can use the below query.

This can help with software upgrades to identify machines that have not yet been upgraded.

SCCM Collection Query

select distinct
SMS_R_System.Name,
SMS_R_System.ClientVersion
from SMS_R_System
inner join SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS
on SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId
where SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName = "Shoretel Communicator"
and SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.Version <= "17.60.9211.0"
order by SMS_R_System.Name, SMS_R_System.ClientVersion

You can change the where statements for the software you want to query and also the version number. In the example above, we are using the following:

• Software = Shoretel Communicator
• Version is equal to or lower than – 17.60.9211.0

Which actually translates as – return to me any machines that have Shoretel Communicator v12.3 (17.60.9211.0) or below installed on them.

You can also change the = for LIKE in the query if you want to use the % wildcard for the DisplayName value.

You can also change the <= for >= if you want higher than version.
