Info of User Targeted application missing under SCCM client WMI

Hi,

We are running some test around user-targeted application self-service via Software Center.

During my test, I noticed something strange. Targeted an application to my user name via Available deployment. On launching SC on my machine, I was able to see the Install button against the application as expected. Proceeded with installing the app which was also successful.

My expectation as this point was that when I query the info of this application under CCM_Application WMI class on my machine where the app is installed, I should see some info on the app saying this was user targeted.

However when I execute the below query, there is not info of the application at all. Ran the machine and user policy along with application deployment policy, but no joy.

GWMI -ComputerName $env:COMPUTERNAME -Namespace 'root\ccm\clientSDK' -Class CCM_Application | Select -Property Name, InstallState, IsMachineTarget

I see only the info of all the device targeted application for my machine that is there under SC.

Am I looking at the wrong class. Kindly advice.

    Hi DS,

    1. Could we try to add the following index to query ”available“ application?
      As the image shown in my environment below:

      As the image shown in my environment below:

    Are you performing the above query using an elevated account or standard user account?

    Ok, so on one of the machines, executing above command via normal or elevated context yields same output. Info of the user targeted installed app missing.

    On the second machine, executing command only as normal user displayed the details of the installed app.

    Does this info from client CCM_Application WMI class also gets stored under some sccm sql view?

    Thank You for your reply.

    What about using the System context?

    Everything is ultimately in the DB.

    What challenge exactly ae you trying to address? Have you reviewed the built-in reports?
