1 INTRODUCTION
The Snow Integration Connector for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) is
used for replication of third party inventory information into Snow License Manager.

This document describes the configuration of the integration connector. Also, it describes the
required settings for Microsoft SCCM in order for Snow Integration Manager to collect relevant and
high quality data.

1.1 PREREQUISITES
User name and password for read access to the Microsoft SCCM database.

Page 4 of 29 SNOWSOFTWARE.COM
2 SETTINGS IN SCCM
The Snow Integration Manager (SIM) connector for Microsoft System Center Configuration
Manager (SCCM) retrieves information by utilizing a number of database views and reports from
SCCM.

The SCCM has three different cycles for inventory; one for hardware, one for software, and one for
software metering. Snow License Manager requires that hardware inventory and software
inventory are enabled, while software metering is recommended.

NOTE
Information on “Last Hardware Scan” from SCCM is translated into “Last Scanned Date” in Snow
License Manager

In the System Center Configuration Manager console:

1. Navigate to Administration|Overview|Client Settings.

2. Depending on the following scenarios, choose one of actions below.

▪ If no previous settings exist:

◦ Select Default Client Settings and then click Properties

- or -

◦ Click Create Custom Client Device Settings to create a new configuration.

▪ If previous settings already exist, select the main client settings template for your site
and then click Properties.

Page 5 of 29 SNOWSOFTWARE.COM
2.1 HARDWARE INVENTORY
1. Select Hardware Inventory from the navigation pane.
2. Set the Enable hardware inventory on clients option to Yes.
3. Click Schedule and set scheduling.
The recommendation is once a day.

4. Click Set Classes.

Page 6 of 29 SNOWSOFTWARE.COM
 5. In the Hardware Inventory Classes dialog box, click Filter by category and then select
Asset Intelligence Reporting Classes.

6. Select all classes.

7. Click OK to save the changes and close the Hardware Inventory Classes dialog box.

NOTE

▪ For customers that experience problems in gathering information on installed SQL

editions, the recommendation is to extend the hardware inventory performed by SCCM
to include custom inventory of SQL editions as well. For configuration, see
https://sccm-zone.com/sql-version-detection-and-report-sccm-2012-r2-12f299b5e63b

▪ From Microsoft SCCM 1710 and higher, SCCM reports logical disk sizes in GB instead of
MB.
The connector checks which version is being used, but when upgrading from an earlier
version to 1710 or higher, a full hardware scan in SCCM must be performed. This is
because the disks scanned before the upgrade will still have size in MB, while the newly
scanned disks will be in GB. If this is not done, the disk sizes in Snow License Manager
might be inconsistent.

Page 7 of 29 SNOWSOFTWARE.COM
2.2 SOFTWARE INVENTORY
1. Select Software Inventory from the navigation pane.
2. Set the Enable software inventory on clients option to Yes.
3. Click Schedule and set scheduling.
The recommendation is once a day.
4. Set the Inventory reporting detail option to Full details.

5. Click Set Types.

Page 8 of 29 SNOWSOFTWARE.COM
6. In the Configure Client Setting dialog box, if there is no file type created already, click New
to create one.

7. In the Inventoried File Properties dialog box for the file type, verify that the following
settings are made (also, see screenshot):

▪ Name = *.exe

▪ Location: All client hard disks

▪ Search subfolders = Yes

▪ Exclude encrypted and compressed files = [cleared]

▪ Exclude files in the Windows folder = [cleared]

8. Click OK to close the Inventoried File Properties dialog box.
9. Click OK to save the changes and close the Configure Client Setting dialog box.

Page 9 of 29 SNOWSOFTWARE.COM
2.3 SOFTWARE METERING
NOTE
Software metering is recommended since it will identify unused software, which then can be
removed from the computers.

1. Select Software Metering from the navigation pane.

2. Set the Enable software metering on clients option to Yes.
3. Click Schedule and set scheduling.
The recommendation is once a day.

4. Click OK to save the changes and close the Default Settings dialog box.
5. For information on how to create metering rules in SCCM, see Appendix.

2.4 ASSET INTELLIGENCE CATALOG SYNCHRONIZATION
In order for SCCM to correctly inventory the system it requires synchronization of the Asset
Intelligence Catalog, which includes the library of software that SCCM recognizes. In case these
updates are not enabled the information passed to Snow License Manager may be inadequate to
properly recognize the installed applications.

In the System Center Configuration Manager console:

1. Navigate to Assets and Compliance | Overview | Asset Intelligence.

The view shows a summary of the Catalog Synchronization status, as exemplified here.

2. If the Catalog Synchronization is not enabled, add this role to your SCCM Server.
For more information on how to add the role, see this article at Microsoft TechNet.
3. If, however, the updates are failing, as in the screenshot above (no information on Last
Successful Update), then the certificates for the SCCM server may not be properly
configured.
For more information on PKI certificates for SCCM, see this article at Microsoft TechNet.
4. Once enabled and configured, Catalog Synchronization can be initiated manually by right-
clicking the Asset Intelligence menu item, and then selecting Synchronize |Synchronize
Asset Intelligence Catalog.

3 CONNECTOR CONFIGURATION
The Snow Integration Connector for Microsoft SCCM is configured in Snow Integration Manager
(SIM). For more information on SIM, refer to the document User Guide, Snow Integration Manager.

3.1 MICROSOFT SCCM

The Microsoft SCCM connector uses a database connection.

3.1.1 DATA CONNECTION

1. Click the Data connection tab.

2. In the Server box, type the SQL server name.

3. Select one of the following:
▪ Type user credentials for the SCCM database in the User id and Password boxes.
▪ Click the Use integrated security check box.
4. In the Database list, select database.
5. To verify the connection, click Test connection.
6. In the Initial aggregation length field, select number of months for initial aggregation of
inventory data.
7. To reset an ongoing incremental aggregation, click Clear Last Aggregation Date.
8. Select Identifier.
9. Optionally, type a site Id for this connector.

Page 12 of 29 SNOWSOFTWARE.COM
 10. Only for Microsoft SCCM 2012:
To optimize handling of network adapter information, select the current version of Snow
Inventory Server.

3.1.2 DATA SOURCE OPTIONS

The SCCM data source options gives a better overview of the SCCM setup and what views and
fields the Snow Integration Manager is able to aggregate from. It is also possible to apply filters to
collections and clients.

1. Click the Data source options tab.

2. Collection filter
In the Collection filter (Site ID) box, type the Site ID’s that clients will be aggregated from.
Use semi colon as separator.
3. Client filter
In the Client filter box, type the names of the clients that will be aggregated.
Use semi colon as separator.
A wildcard character (* or %) can be used to match several clients.

EXAMPLE
Type STO-* for all clients with a name beginning with “STO-“.

4. Enable Apply software exclusion filters to metering data by clicking the check box.
5. To test the filters, click Preview.

▪ Select the Use config value check box to use the last aggregation date.
Note that this will either be the last aggregation date if such a value exists, or todays
date subtracted with the number of months specified for initial aggregation.

▪ Clear the Use config value check box to select a manual date for the preview.

4 SETTINGS IN SIM
Verify settings for the inventory data.

4.1 CONNECTOR OPTIONS

Configure SIM to include inventoried software even if software metadata is missing. This is done
by enabling the Include software with missing metadata option on the Connector options tab
in Snow Integration Manager Properties.

Page 14 of 29 SNOWSOFTWARE.COM
4.2 DATA SOURCE OPTIONS
In the properties of the Microsoft SCCM connector and on the Data source options tab, verify that
all selected Available data sources are selected for In use, as well.

Expand each data source to verify any sub-options.

In case both SCCM and Snow Inventory Clients are used for gathering of inventory data, use the
Collection filter option to specify what collection (SiteID) to include in the SCCM inventory.
