Hardware inventory returns (80004005) InventoryAction does not exist on all clients after update to 1806

[supaFlaj]

Hi, thanks for the hint, but still the same. I just opened PolicySpy and found this policy to be in error in Requested Policies\Machine\Configuration\CCM_Policy_Policy5:

Everything looks fine with both .mof files.

I have also found an old sms_def.mof file from 2015, but I am unable to import it to Default client settings. Also it appears that this older mof file is healthy, because there are great differences between older and current one. But the issue is that this 2015 .mof file could not be compiled, I receive error: error SYNTAX 0X8004400a: Unexpected token at file scope Compiler returned error 0x8004400a

Hi one more question:

If I select top 1000 rows in a table dbo.HinvMOFs I see this:

But when I try to edit top 200 rows I get this:

The SMS_DEF.MOF.XML is empty, and also I cannot edit it?

 

Also if I copy the MOF text from the first image, this text ends with:

  <InventoryClass SmsClassID="MICROSOFT|DRIVER_VXD|1.0" Name="Win32_DriverVXD" SmsReport="False" SmsGroupName="Driver - VxD" Namespace="\\.\root\cimv2">
    <Properties>
      <Property Name="BuildNumber" />
      <Property Name="Caption" />
      <Property Name="CodeSet" />
      <Property Name="Control" />
      <Property Name="Description" />
      <Property Name="DeviceDescrip

 

It seems, that the SMS_DEF.MOF is missing some statements. How can I fix that?

Hi guys, finally I managed to solve this puzzle. In configuration.mof file, somebody has put in the //Physical Memory and // Physical Memory Array classes, but they weren't compatible. So I deleted them from mof file and HInv started to work. Thank you both for your contribution!

Hi Can you please elaborate which settings exactly you changed ?

 

You removed Physical Memory ( Win32_physicalMemory) class from hardware inventory classes ?
