Hello,
I am having considerable difficulty creating an accurate collection of Acrobat DC Standard and Professional installations in my environment using SCCM. I have referenced the following documentation, as has been mentioned in other threads in this forum: Identifying Existing Installs — Enterprise Administration Guide. It seems that the key to accurately identifying installations lies in this line:
To identify your install, use a combination of the serial number and LEID found in the swidtag file located at:
- Windows:
C:\ProgramData\regid.1986-12.com.adobe\<filename>.swidtag - Mac OS:
/Library/ApplicationSupport/regid.1986-12.com.adobe/<filename>.swidtag
The problem however, lies in the fact that SCCM does not seem to collect serial numbers from swidtags. In SCCM, The WMI class SMS_SoftwareTag collects swidtag information. In that WMI class, the attribute UniqueID correlates with the LEID, however I am not finding a corresponding attribute for the serial number. Is there another attribute class that I should be looking in for this information?
If not, what alternatives do I have? If I need to extend the WMI schema through an .mof file modification to include the serial number, can you please provide documentation to achieve this? Otherwise, is there a file or registry location where I can have SCCM look on the local machines for the serial number?
Thank you for your help.
