After Installing R8 for Notification Server
Just a heads up... After installing R8 for Notification Server all seemed to go well, but after one day the console threw an error every time we opened it stating it couldn't connect to the database, and when you ran nssetup it failed.
Turns out the coresettings.config file gets corrupted after install (sometimes...most times) so you need to run a repair on the NS and the service pack.

SQL Query to See the NOT RUN Status for Software Delivery Tasks
Instead of viewing the 'Status' tab on a software delivery task (which is never reliable) use this query to see a list of computers which have the status of 'Not Run' - meaning they have not received the Task or have not delivered any status on the task. Use the Collection Guid in your where clause.
SQL Query to See What Collections a Workstation Belongs To
This query is very helpful in trying to determine what collections a machine belongs to without having to go through Resource Manager.
SQL Query for Sequential Software Delivery Task Status
This will give you information on the status of Sequential Software Delivery Tasks which you can build dynamic collections in Altiris.
Use Report Server to Build Your Notification Server Reports - Software Delivery Task Execution
Use this query to get software delivery task information. You can put in your own Where criteria.
If you use with Business Dev Studio use a report parameter so it will prompt you to choose the filter.
