Using “LIKE” seems to have resolved the issue, although I find it odd that it 
worked, considering that data seemed to be missing. I’ll take it!

Try it with a LIKE instead of an equals.

Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem where model like ‘%980%’

This assumes you don’t have other models with 980 in the number.

Put your exact query in wbemtest and see if it returns results. Might just be 
syntax or a missing underscore.

Yeah, I ran the WMIC command and it was blank in SystemEnclosure. But CSProduct 
Name does have a value. However, my rule doesn’t trigger.  :/

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.

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?
