Is the field populated if you look locally on the machine? Another option would 
be to grab 3-4 hardware ID's that are unique to that model as the WMI and use 
them as the WMI call, its not optimal but would get you over the hurdle

Maybe a firmware or bios update our another tool to populate the wmi entries? 
Not sure if that's hardware or os causing them to be blank.

Subject: [MDT-OSD] WMI query for model comes up blank



We have a handful of OptiPlex 980’s that have no model listed in WMIC 
SystemEnclosure. No idea why. So my WMI query to apply drivers (SELECT * FROM 
Win32_ComputerSystem Where Model = 'OptiPlex 980') doesn’t work. I’ve also 
tried SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystemProduct Where Name = 'OptiPlex 980', 
but that doesn’t seem to work, either. Any ideas on how to force the drivers to 
apply?
