New report from import of mof file...

[jbhaire2004]

I would like to create a new report by exporting a report as a .MOF, modifying it, and then importing it back into SCCM.

Is there a way to generate a new SCCM report from "Reports" -> "import objects"?

I have attempted this but have been unsuccessful. I read this can be done by changing the values after "Category =" and "Name =" but it always replaces the previous report. I beleive this is because the ReportGUID stays the same. How can you regenerate a new ReportGUID? Is this possible??

 

Here is a sample MOF I would like to import as a new report.

Sure.

 

I found the solution to my issue. I tested a number of scenarios and combinations and determined those that work and those that do not.

 

ORG: ReportGUID = "{33DFBA95-926F-4B93-BAD4-2FA640F75439}";

 

2 : ReportGUID = "{}"; WORKS

3 : ReportGUID = ""; WORKS

4 : ReportGUID = ; Not Working

5 : ReportGUID = Not Working

6 : ; ReportGUID = Not Working

7 : (LINE COMPLETELY REMOVED) WORKS
