you can use Net helpmgs <error#> to determine what the error # means. Error 2 = The system cannot find the file specified.

So you are look for the sms_def.mof and configuration.mof then. I can do that but mine will have a ton of extra stuff in it and I do mean a ton of extra stuff! Plus, if you have already enabled those attributes within the class that is all you need to do. You should look at the inventoryagent.log and confirm that the data is collected. Then confirm that local class is displaying data (aka not Null) and finally confirm that CM12 is getting the data by forcing a full inventory.

No, there is not way for me to export my HW inventory. I have this feeling we are talk about Apples and Oranges.

No there is not way to export HW inventory and import into CM07 / CM12.

I have only see that happen when SSRS is missing CU or SP. It should work otherwise.. I would re-apply the CUs to your SSRS server.

Are you ask or telling me?

What I means is, Did you enable those check boxes or change them? Can you give an example of a report that is giving you issues. This will help us, understand which WMI class is having problems. -2147217406 = 0x80041002 = WBEM_E_NOT_FOUND

So that looks good. Did you enable them? What report is giving you problems? BTW Once a hour for HW Inv is fairly aggressive. Daily is what I recommend.

Search for Memory within the Hardware inventory, there are 4 attribute that are enabled by default, the only one that is NOT enabled by default is Available Virtual memory.

Logon time is more of an AD question, not a CM07 question.

Stupid question but why do you think it is not working? Have you forced a Full Discovery?

This report will get you started. http://smsug.ca/blogs/garth_jones/archive/2008/02/04/basic-all-in-one.aspx

Sure you can do that. You would need to write a custom report . here is an example. http://smsug.ca/blogs/garth_jones/archive/2013/01/16/pc-serial-number-by-ou.aspx

Different domain or different forest?

I don’t think you can do anything about DA going down. (Yes, you can look at IBCM but I don’t think that is practical in this situation DA does with IBCM does so….) If they can’t get to your DP, MP, and SUP, there isn’t much you can do to help them. If this become a big issue, I would work on why they are getting out of sync ( or can’t access DA) vs trying to come up with a work around for those that do get out of sync. One suggestion would be to allow one MP, SUP and DP to existing in the unprotected (NAP) network, thereby allowing client to be able to update themselves when they do exist there.

I haven't played with UAG DA but If I remember right both DA and UAG DA should work without any issues with CM12.

What are you regional settings set too? Do you have a 24 hours clock?

This report will get you started. http://smsug.ca/blogs/garth_jones/archive/2008/02/04/basic-all-in-one.aspx As an aside I would love to see you plan that you come up with. Feel free to ping me offline, my email address is easy to find.

This blog topic will get you started with the reporting. http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/skissinger/archive/2009/12/16/hardware-inventory-mof-edit-for-net-framework-versions-updated.aspx

Have you looked at the built-in reports within CM07? Have you create Software Metering rules for each application that you want to track?

Yes everything will need to be exactly the same. For example: FQDN, Drive layout, etc.. however you can upgrade SQL to a newer version.

AV software is going to be the biggest reason, particularly McAfee.

Everything you are looking for can be found within the MSDN class details. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa394373(v=vs.85).aspx

1 NIC port will be fine for 40 PCs.

I’m sorry to tell you this but you MUST install CM07 cleanly. You can’t move your CM07 site server from one domain to another. BTW consider move to CM12 instead.
