I've just started work at a High school, and have been busy moving Computers around the site, to make new clusters for classrooms due to Covid. I noticed that a number of machines have started adding software from other departments (Music software) on PC's that had not come from that part of the school, and I wondered if someone could help me understand why this might of happened. Thanks James

Hi, Do we mean that these machines have received software we don't want to see? We could check if this application is installed from software center or other source. Please navigate to Monitoring -> Asset Intelligence -> software 02E -> Installed software on a specific computer, we could check if the application is from SCCM or not. For example: the install source is shown as ccmsetup, which is from SCCM. Here is the screenshot we could refer to: If the response is helpful, please click "Accept Answer" and upvote it.

Good afternoon, Thank you for checking up on my progress, I've been doing some more investigating on this, and I can see that Some of the PC's have somehow ended up with software from another dept. So I have 15 PC's that our in our ICT dept, and I've had to move them over to DT. once they are in situe, they have started installing software from the music Dept. I'd really just like to know how they have moved from Windows 10 Computers Collection to Music Collection. Also What's the difference between Roles and Locations?

Kind Regards

James

Hi,

We could check who and when modify the collection of Windows 10 Computers Collection.
Please navigate to CM console-> Monitoring->system status-> status Message queries-> All audit status Message from a Specific Site. Set some situation to search it.
