Extending Hardware Inventory

If you want to extend SMS hardware inventory, WMI provides data in a large number of classes that are not defined in SMS_def.mof. You can also create special classes of your own.

Note

  • Because SMS hardware inventory can collect details about the software on your computers, you can think of the hardware inventory extension options as also giving you the option to extend software inventory, although the extensions do not affect the software inventory subsystem itself.
