Hi Anoop, I have a query regarding creating custom inventory class. I would like to add few properties/attributes to each computer object we are managing through SCCM.Those properties/attributes cannot be collected using any WMI/Registry as we have those values per computer object in a separate Table in another SQL Database. Example, we have a table containing computer name,owner name,owner user id, Patch designation(means in which patching phase we will patch the server),server type(like prod,dev,qa etc.). I would like have those part of the Inventoried information for each computer object and create device collection based using those properties in Console(example, collection of all PROD systems).Is there anyway to get those values from the SQL Table and extend existing inventory class in SCCM. Any help will be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
Thanks, Arindam.

I also have never had issues in the past with copying things from technet but as you can see from the OP that there is no one block of code to copy but for some reason the formatting is messed up such that there are several blocks of code with code between formatted incorrectly. I would like you to try to copy the code and import the SMSDef.mof file to see if it takes or kicks a syntax error like I get as I feel something must not be right with the code as posted now even if you copy the whole thing including the items outside the code blocks. If someone has a working smsdef.mof file that they can post that works on SCCM Build 1062 that would be great also. As has been mentioned the configuration.mof file has already been modified and the OP and I seem to both be stuck at the next part which is importing the smsdef.mof file most likly due to a slight error in the technet article given how the formatting of the code is. I see they changed look and feel of the doc library. And using the copy button code is messed up, but if you just use copy paste it works for me. Only tested with mofcomp -check test.mof.
/Oliver Can you post your test.mof file then because the mof file I posted above when I run the mofcomp -check command I get the message below. Or if you could run a DIF of your file and the one I posted to tell me where the error(s) are.
