SCCM Inventory + WMI Classes

Hi,
I have received a below request from my client, and due to my lack of knowledge i am unable to answer this query.
Kindly guide me to right direction.
Can you please confirm which of the following inventory data we are capturing in SCCM? Note that all of these data are from the class “Custom Inventory Collection”. I’m not looking for OS_LANGUAGE from the canned inventory,
I’m looking for the “custom inventory collection” data.
<customInventory>

Hi Jason,
The above XML snippet was sent by client, and i was not quite sure where he got that from.
However both SMS_Def.mof and Configuration.mof files made things clear and was able to answer the query.
Below post really helped me a lot.

Hardware Inventory - WMI Class or Registry extend Problem (NULL Values)

Hello guys,
I need your help please,
I'm New to SCCM 2012, I'm trying to extend the hardware inventory, here's the steps:
1. Default Client Settings -> Hardware Inventory -> Set Classes,
2. For WMI - I import Class from Workstation in the network for example Root\Cimv2\TerminalServices -> Win32_TSDeploymentSettings
For Registry Import i use reg2mof - then import the mof file and enable it.
If i do anything wrong, please let me know as well,
Now for the problem...
I can see data in the database for one computer(record) but when i import more then one computer the database has NULL Values for most of the imported data
i can't find any solution for this problem, if you know what to do PLEASE HELP
Thanks
Avshalom

After you import the classes you need to wait for hardware inventory to occur. Then the null will change to the real data.
For registry keys, make sure that you also add the mof edit to the configuration.mof too.
Also remember that if a computer does not have the class it will show null.

SCCM Client Application Installation WMI Classes and Cycles

Hi,
I am writing some software to monitor application deployements via SCCM - specifcally required applications. The applications installing OK however
it takes a bit of time for the SCCM console to realize the application has been installed after the client has actually done it.
So here are my questions:
1. What client cycle actually sends the status message back to the SCCM database saying "I have installed this application" - I am guessing the
"Application Deployment EValuation Cycle"?
2. Which WMI class can I look at that can tell me "when" the SCCM client installed the application?
Thanks,
Ward

To add to Torsten's answer here, there is no client cycle/action for this as it's automatic (see Torsten's answer). The App Deploy Eval cycle is for re-evaluating global conditions and application requirements on an on-going basis to ensure they are still
enforced and has nothing to do with reporting back to the site.
For part 2, CCM_Application should also get you what you are looking for on the client side but that's pretty inefficient for anything thing more than one-of deployments in small environments. Why not use reporting?

What's the WMI class name to get Client Approval status

What's the WMI class name to get Client Approval status.
Unfortunately the below example with class "SMS_R_System" does not have the approval status
Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root\sms\site_LAB" -Class SMS_R_System | fl *
I listed all the available classes and... yeah It's going to take along time to go though all the possibilities.
Note: I'm running this in powershell on the primary first
If anyone knows it... I'd appreciate your help

This is all still in the testing phase so I'm not sure this is the best solution... but here's my problem and idea to resolve it.
Currently in our environment OSD can only be run against unknown computers and approved clients.
I currently automatically approve all clients in a trusted domain. So all systems that succeed OSD and auto join the domain are approved and I can always run OSD against those machines in the future.
Problem is with the systems that fail OSD for any reason and therefore do not automatically join the domain. They end up getting a SCCM record by the name of "Unknown" and therefore cannot run OSD again until the "Unknown" record
is deleted. "Unknown" records happen too frequently to manually delete and I'm not too comfortable with just deleting ALL of them on a scheduled basis.
Additionally there are way too many OU's in my environment to automatically join our OSD'd systems to the domain. So I have a script that checks using a prestart command to see if the system is already in AD, and if so then OSD continues and simply
joins the machine to the domain in it's current OU. If not the tech is given a nasty error message telling them to add the computer object in AD in the proper OU first.
I intend to check , with a Prestart Command if the current system already has a record in SCCM and delete it if found AND is not approved yet. This should resolve the "There are no task sequences available" error I get with
systems that have an "Unknown" SCCM record.
In this way the system will be essentially approved if the system was already prestaged in AD manually by a technician and any "unknown" record for that system will simply be deleted at the point of OSD.
Note: Although I can easily use the new SCCM Powershell cmdlettts and get the "Approved" status, I need to do all of this in WinPE without the cmdletts. If this property is not available via WMI, then I'm guessing this will not work.

WMI Class Reference for Dynamics CRM Performance Counters

Hello,
I am trying to monitor a MS Dynamics CRM 2013 instance using the
Performance Counters provided.
I will be writing VB Script to collect the performance counter data via WMI.
I couldn't find out the WMI class reference the Dynamics CRM 2013 performance counters.
What I meant was, some thing similar to the 'Windows Server Cluster' Object and Performance counter class, as given below.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa965285%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
Help me on this.
Regards,
Krishna.

Hi David,
Sorry for posting in the wrong forum. Will correct it in future.
I can't use the Perfmon as I have a java application which will call the VB Script periodically to collect the data. I need to write both VB Script and Powershell scripts. I need to have the class reference to understand the data type of each attribute in
a performance counter. For ex,
The 'CRMAuthentication' counter has the following attributes.
Caption
ClaimsAuthenticationAttemptsInTheLastMinute
ClaimsAuthenticationFailuresInTheLastMinute
Description
It is necessary to understand the datatype each attributes in the all Performance Counters.
Regards,
Krishna.

Do we have any WMI class so that we can use it for Drive Extension?

Do we have any WMI class so that we can use it for Drive Extension?

Could you please provide some more information about what you are trying to accomplish?
Do you need a WMI class because you are trying to write a program?
By 'drive extension' do you mean extending a volume that resides on a drive?
If trying to accomplish this via scripting, you can readily use diskpart.
You don't say what operating system you are working with - PowerShell 4.0 that comes with Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 has a Resize-Partition cmdlet.
I could go on guessing, but more information from you would be helpful.

SCCM 2012, WMI, and SCCM Clients

I have SCCM 2012 R2 CU2. I know that WMI has to be working for SCCM to be fully functional. I've done some reading on what I'm about to ask but I'd like to get some clarification on these points as I'm not totally clear on a few things:
1) If when using wbemtest you discover there is no WMI connectivity between the DCs and siteserver to/from a client, including a non-domain member client, will the SCCM client install on that client machine?
2) After the SCCM client is installed on a client machine, how essential is WMI connectivity to that SCCM client functioning?
3) Was parts of SCCM use WMI?
4) What permissions, including within DCOM, are needed for WMI to work with SCCM?
Thanks.

<...>
I'm now back to getting that 0x80070427 error. That error code is also on another server (and with the same software and main functionality) that's on another domain but for now we'll stick with the server we've been talking about.
<...>
So the root question is, what is causing that 0x80070427. There's almost zilch on that error code on the internet.
cmtrace is your friend :)
open cmtrace, press CTRL+L and paste in the error/HRESULT:
Lookup: 0x80070427
Result:The service process could not connect to the service controller.
Source: Windows
Note that ConfigMgr relies heavily on non-ConfigMgr components, i.e. Windows base services/features. If those base services/features are mis-configured / disabled / broken, ConfigMgr *will* be impacted.
In this case, the "Source: Windows" tells us that a Windows component is throwing the error.
There should be additional/further detail/information available for this event in the log. Research that.
The logs on the client will probably need to be examined, including the Windows event logs, to see why the service and service-controller are throwing this error. IF it's happening on two servers, and those servers both have "the same software
and main functionality", I'd be immediately suspicious of that software/function - perhaps that software is the cause of the service/controller issue..

Custom Reporting on Imported Hardware Inventory set classes for USB Super Speed driver

I am trying to create a report with report builder 3.0 to pull data on a USB Super Speed driver under
ClassContext("local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Class{36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000}")

get any data in the report.
I imported this into the Hardware Inventory set classes:
#pragma namespace ("\\\\.\\root\\cimv2\\sms")
[ SMS_Report (TRUE),
SMS_Group_Name ("USB"),
SMS_Class_ID ("MICROSOFT|USB|1.0"),
Namespace ("\\\\\\\\localhost\\\\root\\\\cimv2") ]

[SMS_Report (TRUE) ]
string DriverDesc;
[SMS_Report (TRUE) ]
string DriverVersion;
[SMS_Report (TRUE) ]
string DriverDate;
[SMS_Report (TRUE) ]
string ProviderName;
Under the Configuration.mof file I am not sure what to change in order to report on this. Any help appreciated. We are looking for all of the USB super speed driver details.
Thanks,
Brit

have you looked at V_GS_system_Device if your device info available or not ? Use the below SQL query to list all system devices on your clients.
SELECT DISTINCT name0 FROM v_GS_SYSTEM_DEVICES

SCCM Inventory (Vmware/Vcores/Esxi)

Hello All,
We're looking into using SCCM as (one) of the main sources of information that will be used for a software asset management reporting tool. One of the key elements for getting an accurate license position is to not only determine what you have installed
but also what the hardware beneath the virtualization layer consist of.
I assume it's impossible to determine with SCCM (certainly in the non-hyper-v area) what the hardware of the underlying host is.
Would other tricks as connecting VMM to vcenter deliver extra 'inventory' information to SCCM or would the above requirement lead to a connector from the reporting tool to for example vcenter to read out host data and do the vm host <> blade linking....?

First, a (major) correction: Hyper-V is absolutely a (type 1) bare metal hypervisor.
Next, ConfigMgr is not a CMDB. As mentioned, ConfigMgr manages OSes. It does not manage hardware. The hardware information that ConfigMgr has is because the OS exposes that information. OSes within guest virtual machines do not know or have visibility into
their underlying hypervisor and thus ConfigMgr has no way of knowing anything.
As for VMM, there is no real connection between VMM and ConfigMgr. Just to say it one more time, ConfigMgr manages OS instances. VMM manages hypervisors and virtual hosts. The two are complimentary, but do not overlap in purpose or functionality.
Finally, the webcast I just presented last week in conjunction with Secunia showed how to use custom DDRs to pull information from any system, like vSphere and add that informatin to ConfigMgr for this exact scenario (I'm not sure if the recording has been
posted yet or not though).

Referencing WMI Manageable class from another WMI Class

Hi,
I am trying to have WMI manageable class referring to another WMI manageable class

        static internal ConcurrentDictionary<string, TestEnumWmi> instantlist = new ConcurrentDictionary<string, TestEnumWmi>();

Hi,
The Microsoft ManagementReference sample you mentioned contains a bug:
Instead of:
inst.LetterNumber = "Letter = " + i;
inst.PhoneticNumber = "Phonetic = " + i;
The exact text (where spaces in the string are important and must be removed) should be:
inst.LetterNumber = "NumberLetter.Number=" + i;
inst.PhoneticNumber = "NumberPhonetic.Number=" + i;
With this fix, the hierarchy can now be navigated properly.
c.f. my response to the following blog post:
http://juggledthoughts.blogspot.co.uk/2008/06/wmi-association-classes.html
I have also
logged a bug on MSDN Feedback so please vote on this if you'd like them to fix the sample.
