No. I agree with Jason, ConfigMgr is not an asset or CMDB. At this point, you're going out of your way to develop a rather convoluted process for tracking information on a handful of machines when you can just factor that information in after the fact. To have that data be imported and usable, you would have to create DDRs for the computers...but they would never get updated, so they would eventually purge out anyway.

If possible I could go locally, run some script, get the information and have this on my SCCM for count Windows, Office and other applications. Any idea? Thanks a lot, 2014-04-02 9:02 GMT-03:00 Jason Wallace <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>: 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. ________________________________ From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [mssms] Offline inventory with SCCM Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2014 11:51:27 +0000 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?

I have some locations with Offline machines, but I want to track SW and HW inventory. Thanks ________________________________ PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL.
