Application version query

I am trying to set up a report to show older versions of Java that we may still have out there. I set the Dynamic Collection to

Application - Name - Does Not Equal - Java 8 Update 45

Application - Version - Does not Equal - 8.0.450

This is still showing clients that have the current version of Java and those that still have Java 7 or an older version of 8

I have tried a few different queries with not luck. Any Ideas?

  • The problem with your current query is that almost every computer is going to match that criteria since most computers are going to have an application name that doesn't equal "Java 8 Update 45".

    Change your Application Name comparison to Starts With and enter Java 8

    Change your Application Version comparison to Version Lower Than 8.0.450

    By doing this you will only see computers that have an older version of Java 8.

  • I tried that and and it is working but the problem that I am still having is that its filtering out the computers but in that process it is also filtering out those that still have Java 7. I have tried a few different combinations of the query but for whatever reason it is either showing me all computers or only 2 and I know that this isn't correct.

  • To combine all Java 7 and old Java 8 you can use the filters below.

    Note that we use a Regular expression for the Java 7. This is because Oracle initially named Java 7 Java(tm) for the first few updates and then Java 7 afterward. This will catch both 32 and 64-bit.

    Make sure you use the Matches Expression comparison on

    ^java\(tm\) 7|^java 7

    Hope this helps.
