SOLVED SCCM - Report of Client Browser Versions

[Indy7]

Hello, i'm still very new to SCCM and was recently asked by our security team for spreadsheet of the different types of browsers and their versions that are currently in our global environment. I am having trouble with finding any help in the "canned" reports within the console. We are currently using System Center 1906. Would anyone be able to help me with how to generate such a report for this type of information?
thank you!!

So what exactly are they looking for as this is fairly vague.
If they want to know the default browser for a computer, There is a built-in report for this.

If they want to know about any browser install on a computer, then use the built-in ARP reports.

If they want to know about any browser installed by the user (non-admin) then you need 3th party tools for this.

Thank you Garth. They are asking for a list of the versions of IE, Chrome, and Firefox that our clients currently have installed in our environment. I reached out again and they are wanting to target those that have older versions those browsers to get them updated to the latest.
i appreciate your direction! thank you.

Keep in mind that I work for a company that has a 3rd party tool to inventory User ARP.

As I pointed out, it depends on exactly what you are looking.

If you are ok with just computer based installed of the browser then leverage build in ARP reports.

However if you need to know both computer and user versions of browser then you will need to 3rd party tool like the one from the company I work for.

You can see that Firefox was installed by my test (low right) account called morgan.

Count of Users’ Add or Remove Programs - Enhansoft Knowledge

Count of Users’ Add or Remove Programs returns a count of all user-added or user-removed programs. From this report, you can drill through to List of Computers by User Add or Remove Program, which in turn drills through to List of Add or Remove Programs by User Name or User Add or Remove Program...

List of Add or Remove Programs by User Name - Enhansoft Knowledge

List of Add or Remove Programs by User Name provides a list of user programs for a specific user name. From this report, you can drill through to User Add or Remove Program Details for a Computer.

Just to help prove the point.
Look at:

• 1st screenshot Firefox 34 is installed for the computer. ARP x86
• 2nd screenshot on firefox is listed ARP x64
• 3rd screenshot Firefox 34 is listed (AI)
• 4th screenshot Firefox 74 (x64) is listed for morgan only. (User ARP)

So what this is ultimately showing you is that User ARP software is not found by SCCM.

Again, keep in mind that I work for a company that can inventory this. I'm not trying to sell you anything I'm trying to show you the problem. Which BTW you gave me some great blog ideas, look for them in the next few months.
