Hello Shitanshu, first of all congrats on just a fine article, I have used several times for SCCM 2007 and works fine ! The IT managers love these dashboards to "control" things. Because I now have clients with SCCM 2012, and the dashboards aren´t available for SCCM2012, I would like to know if anybody try to use it with SCCM2012 ? and the results/expectactions about this ? Thanks in advance.Anonymous
