This blog post will be a short post about a question I often get when there was an accidental deployment and nobody dares to admit that he (or she) was responsible. The nice thing, at least for the colleagues and the manager, is that all this information is stored in the database and that it’s actually pretty simple to check.
There is a buildin report named All messages for a specific message ID that can be used to track the created deployment. The only missing detail is that it’s not clear which Message ID belongs to which action. The following table provides an overview with exactly that information. It will show per object type which Message ID belongs to the creation of a(n) deployment/ assignment.
| Object | Status Message | Message ID |
| Application | User “<>” created a deployment of application “<>” to collection “<>”. | 30226 |
| Package | User “<>” created a deployment named “<>” deploying program “<>”. | 30006 |
| Task Sequence | User “<>” created a deployment named “<>” deploying program “<>”. | 30006 |
| Software Updates | User “<>” created updates assignment “<>”. | 30196 |
| Configuration Baseline | User “<>” created updates assignment “<>”. | 30196 |
| User Data and Profiles Configuration | User “<>” created configuration policy assignment “<>”. | 40700 |
| Remote Connection Profiles | User “<>” created configuration policy assignment “<>”. | 40700 |
| Certificate Profile | User “<>” created configuration policy assignment “<>”. | 40700 |
| Email Profile | User “<>” created configuration policy assignment “<>”. | 40700 |
| VPN Profile | User “<>” created configuration policy assignment “<>”. | 40700 |
| Wi-Fi Profile | User “<>” created configuration policy assignment “<>”. | 40700 |
| Antimalware Policy | User “<>” created client settings assignment “<>”. | 40303 |
| Windows Firewall Policy | User “<>” created configuration policy assignment “<>”. | 40700 |
| Client Settings | User “<>” created client settings assignment “<>”. | 40303 |
Very useful reports with status message ids. Thanks.
Thanks! This is very helpful.
Excellent report thanks… do you have the same kind of report/query to analyze who created/modified a package?
Thanks,
Dom
Hi Dominique,
That’s the second entry in the table.

You just saved my bacon sir. Got accused of deploying something to several servers and was able to prove it was not I!
That’s great to hear, Nick!
