I would say that there is little point having something in your SCCM database without wanting to DO something with that information such as deploy updates or software to the machine, or to enforce settings. All of these would require that the device be online in some form. If the intention is to use SCCM simply as a CMDB then probably not the best use of resources.

I'm going to go with “no”, or at least “not easily”. What about… Intune? Direct Access? how “offline” is “offline”? if, for example, you were to get something to query WMI on those machines and create something to send… how would it be sent or picked up? Are those boxes truly behind an impenetrable firewall? From: JRIT Sent: Wednesday, April 2, 2014 6:21 AM To: [email protected] Folks, Is there a way to get info from a OFFLINE desktop and input this on SCCM 2012 R2? I have some locations with Offline machines, but I want to track SW and HW inventory. Thanks
