Thanks Sherry and Garth. Compliance Settings does sound like a more appropriate approach to meet the requirements.

Does it need to be hardware inventory? this sounds tailor-made to be a Configuration Item instead. Yes, I know that would mean you'd have to change your collection query from looking at that custom inventory, to instead look at compliance/configuration item. Once you have your "what means compliant" CIs configured, setting up the collections to match and setting up the baselines to run every hour isn't a big deal, IMO.

I would prefer not to run run HW inventory on all WMI classes listed in the client settings at this aggressive interval. Or maybe that's not aggressive in some people's minds :) Question is, is there some way to do this natively or through the SDK? I was thinking I could just execute it in a package/program every hour for those systems to ensure the data is accurate close to an hour. Time sensitive collection membership and reporting is dependent on this data. I still want the remaining WMI classes to inventory on their current schedule as defined in the client settings. Just not every hour. Thank you, Stephen
