Yeah, but the same question remains, but I guess the answer is yes. Can 
ConfigMgr report on all instances of a class even if the name of the instances 
are not known?

You could make a new instance with these properties all in the same class:
ID
Name
Count
Size
PTP
Then everything is contained in one class with no child objects.

I'd much prefer WMI also with a new instance per BITS job.

job?

Subject: [mssms] Reg Inventory, best way for unknown values

Hey list,

We are working on generating a log structure for all BITS jobs (not only 
ConfigMgr ones as that already exists). This is for all the other traffic like 
Adobe, Chrome etc. You will be amazed to see how much stuff is using BITS. And 
we need some input on how to provide the info the best way for ConfigMgr.

This will be part of the OSD BranchCache kit for free, but to get to the point. 
We want to write this data to the registry and allow for admins to collect if 
they want to. But since we don’t know what the reg keys are goint to be called, 
it’s hard to get with a .mof right? As I understand it, that requires known 
keys and values?

If we report on an ID of 0-999 and name the reg key values like 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\2Pint Software\BCReporter\ReportData\0  where 0 is 
the actual value name for the first “type” of job and then 999 would be the 
last. Obviously we don’t want to fill up the DB with lots of empty data fields, 
so does ConfigMgr generate the tables on .mof creation or when inventory comes 
back?

Or should I structure it in some other way?
