SCCM 2007 Hardware Inventory v_GS_VIRTUAL_MACHINE table missing the PhysicalHostName0 and PhysicalHostNameFullyQualifi0 Columns

Question

Hi All,
I went to run a query in SQL Management Studio the other day and realized that the
v_GS_VIRTUAL_MACHINE table missing the PhysicalHostName0
and PhysicalHostNameFullyQualifi0 Columns.
I reviewed the Configuration.mof and SMS_def.mof files and they seem fine. The Configuration.mof file has the below in it where it should be gathering the PhysicalHostName0 and PhysicalHostNameFullyQualifi0 parameters.
// Virtual PC
#pragma namespace ("\\\\.\\root\\cimv2")
[DYNPROPS]
class Win32Reg_SMSGuestVirtualMachine
    [key]
        string InstanceKey;
        string PhysicalHostName;
        string PhysicalHostNameFullyQualified;
[DYNPROPS]
instance of Win32Reg_SMSGuestVirtualMachine
    InstanceKey = "VPCKey";
    [PropertyContext("local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Microsoft\\Virtual Machine\\Guest\\Parameters|PhysicalHostName"),
                    Dynamic, Provider("RegPropProv")]
        PhysicalHostName;
    [PropertyContext("local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Microsoft\\Virtual Machine\\Guest\\Parameters|PhysicalHostNameFullyQualified"),
                    Dynamic, Provider("RegPropProv")]
        PhysicalHostNameFullyQualified;
[DYNPROPS]
class Win32Reg_SMSGuestVirtualMachine64
    [key]
        string InstanceKey;
        string PhysicalHostName;
        string PhysicalHostNameFullyQualified;
[DYNPROPS]
instance of Win32Reg_SMSGuestVirtualMachine64
    InstanceKey = "VPCKey";
    [PropertyContext("local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Microsoft\\Virtual Machine\\Guest\\Parameters|PhysicalHostName"),
                    Dynamic, Provider("RegPropProv")]
        PhysicalHostName;
    [PropertyContext("local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Microsoft\\Virtual Machine\\Guest\\Parameters|PhysicalHostNameFullyQualified"),
                    Dynamic, Provider("RegPropProv")]
        PhysicalHostNameFullyQualified;
I'm not really sure what to look at next and am hoping someone else has experienced this issue before.
I have looked at other customers running SCCM 2007 and compared the Configuration.mof and SMS_def.mof files, which look pretty much the same.
Thanks in advanced.
Andrew

Answer 1

Are they running on virtual pc or virtual server? Notice that I said virtual pc and virtual server, not Hyper-v. In CM12 this is fix and will show the physical server when running on Hyper-v.
