Two issues fixed by the same Hotfix:


  • High CPU utilisation after installing the CM12R2 client
  • Applications not appearing in Software Center despite meeting all requirements and not already being detected.

More on this.
WMI.

- Collection called Catalog1 uses a Query for OU memberships and returns all matching devices
- App-model applications are deployed as Available with requisite Detection methods to device Collections for that App i.e. App1 to Coll1, App2 to Coll2 etc.
- An Include query on each Collx of Catalog1 (meaning those devices also appear in Collx)
- Catalog1 is set to Incremental Update and Collx are set to update every hour (we are in test currently)
So what happens is a machine with the client does not always show the 20-something applications in SC despite being in each collx. More stangely, sometimes only a couple of applications are listed despite meeting the apparent requirements (and not already being detected).
