For this month's SWAG drawing, SMS Expert donated a copy of the Start to Finish Guide to MOF Editing:

...AND a $100 Amazon.com gift certificate:

 

WINNER!  Ben VanDortrecht

Rod and Dave, 

Thank you very much for the Gift certificate and the MOF Guide Editing. 

Dave, I agree that myITforum is one of the most valuable resources out there and I too would not be what I am today without this valuable resource. 

Just to give you an idea how I spent the 100.00 Amazon Gift certificate, I ordered: 

"SMS 2003 Administrator's Reference: Systems Management Server 2003" - Ron D. Crumbaker

"Pro SMS 2003" - Rod Kruetzfeld

"SMS 2003 Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach" - Greg Ramsey

I already have Rods books so these will be welcome additions to my resource library.

Once again, I thank you Rod, and you Dave Jaffe for the wonderful day I had today and for the chance to get some great books.

Thanks Always, 

Ben VanDortrecht

The Start to Finish Guide to MOF Editing book explains the basics of WMI, as it relates to hardware inventory, as well as the hardware inventory process itself. Each of the various methods for modifying hardware inventory is described in great detail with many examples. 

Customizing hardware inventory is explained in an easy to read format which greatly simplifies learning and also provides useful examples. The end result is an informative guide to modifying hardware inventory that is fun to read. 

"This work demystifies hardware inventory customization with practical examples and step-by-step guidance, and I recommend that every SMS administrator keep this one in your tool bag or bookmarked on your favorites list!"

Steven D. Kaczmarek

Author of Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003 Administrator's Companion GUIDE

The Start to Finish Guide to MOF Editing is valued at $60.00 retail.
