Outdated Software Report

[Finchc]

I am trying to expand upon the reports in Pro Tip 52 for outdated Zoom.

 

We would like to create similar reports for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox etc. I have tried making a report for Chrome, however it is returning the latest version as 70.42.59 and marking all our devices non-compliant as that all have versions around 123 instead of 70.  I have also created the same report for Firefox and other programs, however this has returned 0 results.  I am hoping someone can tell me where the error lies.  Below are the respective reports.

Chrome:

Hello,

I hope you are not banging your head on this. I assume you want a report that looks like this.

Below you will find the report. You can just copy and paste it as a new report.
I originally got this style of report from Lansweeper a few years back, and I just modify it to the software and versions I need.

When the newer versions come out, just update the version numbers as needed.

The current version as of 4/15/2024 is: 123.0.6312.123

Think of the version number as :

123	0	6312	123
4	3	2	1

There are two spots in the report to update the version similar to below. Notice how "3" is skipped.

 When Cast(ParseName(tblSoftware.softwareVersion, 4) As int) > 123 Then
      'Up to date'
    When Cast(ParseName(tblSoftware.softwareVersion, 4) As int) = 123 And
      Cast(ParseName(tblSoftware.softwareVersion, 2) As int) > 6312 Then
      'Up to date'
    When Cast(ParseName(tblSoftware.softwareVersion, 4) As int) = 123 And
      Cast(ParseName(tblSoftware.softwareVersion, 2) As int) = 6312 And
      Cast(ParseName(tblSoftware.softwareVersion, 1) As int) >= 123 Then

Select Top 1000000 tblAssets.AssetID,
  tblAssets.AssetName,
  tblAssets.Domain,
  tsysAssetTypes.AssetTypename As AssetType,
  tblAssets.Username,
  tblAssets.Userdomain,
  tsysAssetTypes.AssetTypeIcon10 As icon,
  tblAssets.IPAddress,
  tblSoftwareUni.softwareName As Software,
  tblSoftware.softwareVersion As Version,
  tblSoftwareUni.SoftwarePublisher As Publisher,
  Case
    When Cast(ParseName(tblSoftware.softwareVersion, 4) As int) > 123 Then
      'Up to date'
    When Cast(ParseName(tblSoftware.softwareVersion, 4) As int) = 123 And
      Cast(ParseName(tblSoftware.softwareVersion, 2) As int) > 6312 Then
      'Up to date'
    When Cast(ParseName(tblSoftware.softwareVersion, 4) As int) = 123 And
      Cast(ParseName(tblSoftware.softwareVersion, 2) As int) = 6312 And
      Cast(ParseName(tblSoftware.softwareVersion, 1) As int) >= 123 Then
      'Up to date'
    Else 'Out of date'
  End As [Patch Status],

    When Cast(ParseName(tblSoftware.softwareVersion, 4) As int) = 123 And
      Cast(ParseName(tblSoftware.softwareVersion, 2) As int) = 6312 And
      Cast(ParseName(tblSoftware.softwareVersion, 1) As int) >= 123 Then
      '#d4f4be'
    Else '#ffadad'
  End As backgroundcolor

  Left Join tsysOS On tsysOS.OScode = tblAssets.OScode
Where tblSoftwareUni.softwareName Like '%Google Chrome%' And
  tblSoftwareUni.SoftwarePublisher Like '%Google%' And tblState.Statename =
  'Active'

To use this for other program reports; replace the software name between the percent symbols, and replace the publisher between the percent symbols.

I am looking for a report that only returns out of date versions and does not show up-to-date ones at all, and that automatically detects the latest version of the specified software.

[duster1]

Simple enough,

Save the report above.
After saving it, use the "Save as" button, and save it as the same report with "- Out of date"
After you save your out of date report, go to edit the report.

Find the line that shows Patch Status, and set it to out of date 

click outside of the box, it will automatically set it to = 'out of date'

Save and run your report. 

[Finchc]

Will this method automatically detect the current version?  We need an automated solution that we don't have to update.

[duster1]

You will have to occasionally update the version numbers.

It will automatically show out of date if the version number is below the set values.

If you need more advanced reporting, I'd get with a DBA to write some code for you.
