Join us today at 3 PM CST for a deep dive to leverage Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation (OMCI) with Microsoft System Center Configuration Manger (ConfigMgr/SCCM).
This chat will focus on using OMCI with ConfigMgr to collect additional inventory by modifying the SMS_DEF.MOF with inventory from OMCI. Dell created a MOF Extensions file to help you easily extend ConfigMgr hardware inventory to collect Dell hardware information. Donnie Taylor will be leading the chat.
Review the white paper and the Dell SMS_DEF.MOF Extensions.
A sample of some of the custom data you can inventory with OMCI and ConfigMgr:
- ManufactureDate - On newer Dell Systems, you can inventory the date of manufacture.
- Status of different pieces of hardware (Fan, Chassis, overall Hardware Heatlh, etc).
- Temperature Sensor Status, reading, etc
- Docking Station Serial Number
- VPro BIOS Settings
- All BIOS Settings
