ConfigMgr - How to find the Application Name for a ContentID

Tue, 03 Jun 2014 21:51:08 +0000

While reviewing ConfigMgr status messages for clients reporting problems acquiring package content (Message ID 10025) I found some code snippets on sccmfaq.ch that maps the ContentID to the name of the application. As i had to do several lookups, I decided to create a function for it.

function Get-xCMContentIDforApp
{
<#
.Synopsis
 Get-xCMContentIDforApp
.DESCRIPTION
 This function retrieves the Application name for the provided ContentID. 
 Use this when analyzing status messages (10025) for clients reporting problems
 acquiring package content 

.EXAMPLE
 Get-xCMContentIDforApp -SiteServer cmsrv01 -SiteCode lab -ContentID Content_4783c44a-3f5c-4bf3-a130-a89e5520173a, Content_1d336090-12e4-445b-9c15-718ee5ddf40a

 Application ContentID 
 ----------- --------- 
 Mozilla Firefox_SW10012130 Content_4783c44a-3f5c-4bf3-a130-a89e5520173a 
 Microsoft Excel 2010 x64_SW10011686_V Content_1d336090-12e4-445b-9c15-718ee5ddf40a 

 The above example retrieves the Application name for each contentID provided.

Some of you are probably involved in some sort of Windows 7 migration preparation activities and like with any operating system migration, application compatibility is one of the most important topics you will need to focus on. If you need to do a first pre-study on your application compatibility status, then I suggest you download the Windows 7 Application Compatibility List for IT Professionals and compare the content with the applications your company or client is using, this might allow you to do a first estimate on how much effort you will need to spend on Application Compatibility related tasks.

Just found this nice little FREE Utility. AppTimer from PassMark Software will run an executable a number of times and time how long it takes for the application to reach a state where user input is being accepted before exiting the application.

AppTimer can be downloaded from here
