Java Collection that contains only java 1.6

A user on the MS forums was looking for a collection that contained computers with only Java 1.6 installed and not both 1.6 and 1.5. So here is a collection to do just that:



select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM on SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId 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 like "Java(TM) 6%" and SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Name not in (select distinct SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Name from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM on SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId 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 like "Java(TM) 5%")

SP upgrade error

I upgraded to SP2 over the weekend. I didn't uninstall the MP nor did I uninstall WAIK before I began. Those objects upgraded with zero problems. The only problem I encountered was at the very beginning when you choose your download location for the updates.

Every time I choose the download folder it was state:
"component manifest was not found or it was invalid"

Well I simply moved the
ConfigMgr.manifest.cab
ccmsetup.cab
to a new folder and tried again. This time it downloaded and start the install.

I cannot say how long it took, but It wasn't several hours. I minimized the window and read the Sunday paper. When I returned it was pretty much done upgrading.

A restart wasn't required but I did it anyway since I like to restart after major upgrades and installs to ensure the platform is stable.

Microsoft Cert 071-686

It looks like I passed the Pro: Windows® 7, Enterprise Desktop Administrator Beta exam.
It still isn't listed on the Microsoft Website. I still have one more exam for Win 7 and I hopefully I will be a MCITP in Win 7.

New KB973499 - A memory leak occurs when many content location requests are received by a site server ConfigMgr 2007 SP1

A new hotfix is out for ConfigMgr 2007. It has to do with too many requests sent to the MP and a memory leak that may occur. More information can be found at the Micrsosoft configMgr blog

Passed Win 7, 71-685 exam

Well I received my passing notice for the Win 7, Enterprise Desktop Support Technician beta exam.

We have a Win 7 test machine in our office which I have only played with a little but have been reading all the documentation for Win 7 and all the articles on it. Knowing Vista would help you only a little bit.
