Hi we've a large number of devices with a few PCI and PCIe devices installed, not in the same slots. would like to push out a configuration script, the settings of which, for long-winded reasons or prerequisites, depends on how many, and which, slots are in use. the solution to this would therefore be query based collections and separate packages containing the variables and then deployment en masse allowing configuration to be tailored to the hardware. -hopefully avoiding the months of work which would be a manual visual audit and inspection and then collation into collections. NOTE: it's actually irrelevant what the devices are, more whether there is, or isn't a device present in a slot, or which combination of slots are in use the problem with this plan is i can't actually find anything on which to base my query in SCCM 2012 itself, i can query an individual machine with powershell and return the slots in use. so i know the WMI classes and attributes exist but cannot find how to include these in a collection query, nor any way to report this in general. modifying and importing an updated sms_def.mof would be great but i'm unsure of what to add to this file to include the correct attributes. does anyone have any insight or experience of this, or any where they can point me in the right direction to get the correct details collected by the client and then to process this into a valid collection. thanks for your help
