Thanks, Sherry. :) From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sherry Kissinger Sent: Monday, September 23, 2013 1:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [mssms] possible to query WMI namespaces without script?
If you've already enabled the class in client settings; then check your CM_<whatever> database. Do you have the view? it'll likely be called something like v_gs_SomethingCLoseToTheClassName. just do a select * from v_gs_WhateverItIs to see if any box has reported any data about it at all yet. If so, then easy enough to make pretty reports.

It’s an action that is performed against a WMI class (typically). Did you mean to say: “I’m looking to gather hardware inventory in ConfigMgr for instances of a particular WMI class, that only exists on certain computers?” Cheers, Trevor Sullivan From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Murray, Mike Sent: Monday, September 23, 2013 2:27 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [mssms] possible to query WMI namespaces without script? I’m looking to report on a list of computers that have a particular WMI class enumerated. So I guess a custom inventory rule. I already enabled the class in the client settings.

"it depends" wmic can do cool things. So can interactive Powershell prompt. even wbemtest can be made to query. Or do you mean... you want to make a custom inventory rule in ConfigMgr? If so, that's easy -peasy. What'cha looking to do?

I see VBS scripts that will do this, just wondering if it’s possible to report on WMI namespace values.
