Did you follow Rod’s post word for word? Even if it doesn’t make sense at first…if you follow it word for word, I have never seen it not work. If you skip/overlook even one step…it will fail every time.

You can try posting back what the resulting query looks like (after following the steps in Rod’s post) along with the errors that you are getting and I’ll try to look at it. Things are really busy right now, so I can’t promise how timely I will be.

Alternatively, you could try posting the question on the ConfigMgr forum on myITforum.com. The best guys in the world at ConfigMgr are answering questions on that forum.

Both of these solutions don’t work. I continually get syntax errors… any ideas?

I had to use something like this instead…. Otherwise there was syntax errors…

SELECT DISTINCT
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_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS on SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId
WHERE SMS_R_System.ResourceId NOT IN (SELECT
ResourceID
FROM
SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS
WHERE DisplayName = “Sophos Anti-Virus”)

Short answer is “yes”. Posting this from my phone, so I can’t really expand much on that. Hopefully you are able to figure it out.

Can you use a subselect query on a query that has two Criterion? For example. I have a query that says Like Adobe Reader and >=8.1
Could I use a subselect query to on that query that would show me the opposite?

The happy dance? I’ve done those several times. I usually call those my “a-ha!” moments. When something finally, finally clicks!
