What would be a good query setup for finding all IE version across a company?

Scheduled Tasks and Policies Data
It seems that something is changed or I am wrong about the functionality of the "Scheduled Task and Policies" history on a device. I noticed that when I remove a device from the Scheduled Task that installs something the Task is no longer listed in "Scheduled Tasks and Policies" . I thought it would stay listed there until the task itself was deleted. Is this correct behavior? Is there a setting that could have been changed?
I'm on 9.5 SP3

Security Update for Microsoft Windows not showing in inventory
I have a Window 10 client (1607) that has the patch for wannacrypt installed (KB4013429) along with a number of other patches. KB4013429 was installed 4/5/2017. However, inventory just shows 5 updates installed and KB4013429 is not one of them. I'm trying to scan for how many machines are patched. There are other machines that do report that patch installed.
I've tried running full sync scans from the console end, running inventory from the client end, re-installing the client, deleting the client from the console and again re-installing the client with the same results. Inventory\Name\OS\Updates\updates still only shows 5 installed updates.
Last Software Scan Date and Last Updated by Inventory Scanner all show today's date and the time is just after client installation
LD version is 9.60.2.48
Patch was originally installed through our WSUS server
LANDesk Agent high CPU Usage (ldiscn32.exe).
LookupAccountName failed '1332'
Preface: I'm new to landesk so take it easy on me but please let me know if there are easier ways to do what I'm trying to do
I have multiple cores in my environment and I recently tried to migrate a couple hundred servers from one core to another by pushing a new Server Agent Configuration. The majority seem to have worked but there are several that have not reported their inventory scans to the new core.
After connecting to one of the failed machines I tried to run this to get a full scan uploaded to the core:
LDISCN32.EXE" /NTT=core.domain:5007 /RSS /F /S= /I=core.domain HTTP://core.domain/ldlogon/ldappl3.ldz /V /sync
In the ldiscn32.log file I see the following error:
LookupAccountName failed '1332'
The scan does end up going to the new core but ends up under the ldscan\ErrorScan directory.
Anyone know how to troubleshoot this?
Last Software Scan Date is NOT updating
I have an issue where several thousand machines are not updating their Last Software Scan Date value after a full scan is performed.
Using a LANDesk script to force a full scan, the following command runs:
REMEXEC1=<qt/>%LDMS_CLIENT_DIR%\LDISCN32.EXE<qt/> /NTT=%server%:5007 /S="%server%" /I=HTTP://%server%/ldlogon/ldappl3.ldz /NOUI /NOCD /F /SYNC
On almost 4000 machines, 3500 report as successfully scanned.
When I run a report or a query on LAST Software Scan Date - the date does not change and remains between 10 and 30 days ago. Other "Last scanned" fields update with the current date.
1. Why is this date field not updating?
2. Can I be reasonably sure that Software scans are not occuring?
3. What can I do to make sure that software scans are occuring and that the date field gets updated?

Query for custom file?
I have a deployment job set up that copies a custom configuration file to the client's hard drive. I want to set up a query to find out if this task was successful. Is there a way to do this?
I've already added the file to the "to be scanned" section of the Manage Software List. I just cannot figure out how to query for it. I am running LANDESK 2016.
Query for different versions of Internet Explorer
I've read the past threads on this, what few there were, but was unable to locate an answer that worked.
When I attempt to query for IE versions, Utilizing the Custom Data, or the Product/Name functions, I get a jumbled response. It brings back pretty much everything in the computer software inventory.
I need to be able to differiniate between IE 7 and IE 8 but can not get it to run correctly and bring back what i am asking it for. I can get it to bring back 8 only. but not 7 and 8 nor, more perfably, everything but 8.
After establishing the quert to bring back the above, I would tack on it further statements that will bring it back for a particular subnet as well. I've managed to do this for other programs, such as Lotus and Adobe, but IE isnt' performing the same... I must assume this is because it's imbedded into the OS correct?
Thanks for any help you can provide scripting the correct logic for this function.
Cant see a device in all devices
Hi Guys,
I installed new 9.5 core server and now im trying to migrate clients from old 9.0 core server to it.
Im redeploying agents from new core server to all devices. So far everything worked like charm.
Now I found a device that I sucessfully deployed agent to but that device do not apear in all devices list.
Im able to connect to it using remote control.
I was also able to run manual security and inventory scan from the device. I saw that this device was communicating with right core during this scan but It didnt apear in the list.
(no error on client during scan)
I tired to completely remove - reinstall the agent but behaviour of this device is still the same.
Core server and the device are on the same network. All firewalls are dissabled.
Does anyone have an idea what might be the problem ?
Thanks

Anyone using the local scheduler to run powershell scripts?

PC Model information
Hello:
I have a handful of workstations that either have no PC model information or inncorrect model information. That is, the inventory field Computer.Model is either blank or has bad info (i.e., a Dell Latitude (laptop) reporting itself as a Dimension (not a laptop). After doing some looking through the inventory I realized that another inventory field, Computer.System.Model, contains the correct information.
The only place on the actual machines, or in Active Directory that I find the model information is in the BIOS - this seems to be where Computer.System.Model is getting its info. I confirmed on the test machines that I can easily access that WMI reports itself OK - this seems to be borne out by the correct information (including serial numbers) that is found under Computer.System.*.
Where is Computer.Model pulling its information? Why is it accurate for about 90+% of the machines, but not on others?
Thanks for your help.

Inventory missing some items
LD 9.5 no SP1
As I look through my Console I keep seeing computers (small percentage) that have certain things missing for instance the model number, or windows version, provisioned column blank, etc and everything else is there.
When I look in inventory these items are missing from there.
1. In troubleshooting I deleted the test computer from the console then ran a full inventory scan, didn't help
2. went into \program files\landesk\ldclient\data and deleted the LDAPPL3.ini file and ran a full inventory scan, didn't help.
3. Did a remoteregistry and deleted the Landesk unique ID in both places, then ran a full scan, didn't help
Also all these computers have the same os (win 7 32bit), same model, as computers that are fine.
Any suggestions?
How can i query users by what their first name starts with?
I'm setting up my patch process. I have a static group of machines for my initial patch testing. I'd like to set up a 20% Pilot group, but don't want to be dealing with keeping it up to date, nor do i want my IT team to have to refer to a list to see if a user is part of the pilot group or not.
I want to select 20% by creating a query that returns all users with a first name that starts with a letter between A and J. This will give me 20% of our environment that is pretty much random. It's also easy for the IT team to remember that if a person's first name is between A and J then they are piloting patches.
How can i do this?

Detecting all machines with connected document scanners
Is it as difficult as it seems to be? I see them in inventory but they are "buried" under USB/device/0,1,2,3 etc. (Assuming they are a USB device)
Does anyone know of an easy way to query all machines with scanners attached to them?
Thank in advance.
Automatically Delete old Computers
So I have been wondering for a while now why I have so many old devices showing up in my inventory. According to this doc (http://community.landesk.com/support/docs/DOC-1188) The "Days to keep inventory scans" is supposed to take care of this, but it doesn't seem to be working. I have mine set to 30 days, but I have machines showing up in inventory with Last Hardware Scan Date of over 6 months ago. Why is this not working or how do I get it to work? Thanks.
Random Printout From Serial Thermal Printer
We are trying to troubleshoot why several of our computers with "SNBC BTP-2002NP" thermal receipt printers randomly print out PJL commands. The printers are connected to POS computers that connect to a terminal server. The printer is not installed it is just connected to the com 2 port. The POS software runs from the terminal server and prints to the com 2 port. When this happens it causes the application to freeze up on the RD Web Windows Terminal Server for the individuals session. Does anyone know how LANDesk polls for printers to add them to inventory? Would LANDesk send the following commands to the com port during inventory to determine information?
