Thanks Sherry, Only after I sent this out and woke up a bit I realized all of my faults ☺
I did make the changes I needed to the default settings, and everything is fine now.

It's the default. So yes, if you check (or uncheck) something in "default client settings"--that'll modify the default. Here's a "for example". Let's say you ONLY really care about services information from your servers--workstations you don't care (this is just a what-if; I'm not saying you would do this). So in "Default Client Settings", hardware inventory, you UNcheck the box for Services. That means that now ALL boxes by default--won't report on what's in win32_service. Now you go into the "Servers Only" CUSTOM Client Agent Setting, Hardware inventory, and DO check the box for services. So now the cumulative settings for servers (Default + Global + Servers only) will report on services... but Workstations, which currently only deserver "default + global", won't. One "could" just make the changes one has in "global" in the "default", and get the same results. I could see the mental exercise however where someone separated it out. What's missing in your dashboard that you need?

One is what we use Globally and has a Priority of 1 deployed all systems A second is for Servers only, which has a Priority 3 deployed to Servers group A third is the Default Client Settings, with a Priority of 10000 not deployed When I open up my “Global” settings (which has all of the settings we want) then go to Hardware Inventory and export it as a .MOF, it is extremely small and does not have any of the settings I am looking for to modify. If I open up the Default client Settings, I see everything In my global settings exported MOF I have (trimmed out any of the other stuff): SMS_Group_Name ("BitLocker") SMS_Group_Name ("Quick Fix Engineering") SMS_Group_Name ("TPM") SMS_Group_Name ("Windows Update") I was looking for the Win32_OperatingSystem section, but it only appears when I open the exported “Default Settings”. If I make changes to the “Default Client Settings” I don’t think this will at all work out. I haven’t touched the client settings, this was done 4 years ago by a consultant, so now I am digging in and seeing what we can change. I ran the 1e Readiness tool (free) and was sent to this page: http://help.1e.com/display/SLI/Windows+10+Readiness#Windows10Readiness-W1004 as my dashboard was missing some things, so this started my investigation… thanks, Kevin -- Thank you, Sherry Kissinger My Parameters: Standardize.
