Start CMPivot Tool

Navigate to the device collection against which you want to run the CMPivot query.

  • Select All Systems device collection.

NOTE: I don’t recommend using the All System collection in a production environment with more than many devices. Instead, use the collection with fewer devices to try out the query.

  1. Hello,

    I did a CMPivot on SMSDefaultBrowser for a collection of 38,000 machines and the event 4104 became a threat on the security console passing from millions to billions… Any idea what is going on?
    Is the collection too big?
    Any restrictions on CMPivot SMSDefaulBrowser?

    Thanks,
    DOm
