SQL Server Setup comes with a feature to generate a report of what SQL Features are installed on that local host.
See: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb510455.aspx orhttp://mssqlfun.com/2013/02/26/sql-server-discovery-report/
I want to capture that data into SCCM Inventory so that in my SCCM Reporting I can tell the difference between a host running the Management Studio and a host running SQL Server (or other services) that require licensing.
Granted, the setup command to generate the report will have to be run periodically to get the current state and each run of that report generates a new folder uniquely named at the time it ran. That part I can probably script and execute with an SCCM
package. More so, once that data is generated, how to get it into SCCM via Inventory is the bigger challenge.
I'm sure I am not the first to have this desire so I am hoping there is a solution out there has gone through some cycles and proven reliable?
