Status: offline 		I'm pulling the following into a hardware report...

v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Manufacturer0 AS 'Make',
v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Model0 AS 'Model'

HP machines report fine, but for my IBM & Lenovo machines the field is populated with numbers instead of the Model Name (i.e. values like '8190KG3' and '23732VG' instead of more meaningful 'T42' or 'T40'). I've hunted around and Google'd, but I can't find it anywhere.

IBM/Lenovo use the model numbers 814334G etc they dont have meaningful names such as T42 :(

Ive had to extend the MOF file to allow it to pull back battery information, this way i can shove off anything thats a laptop, and can sort the model numbers a bit easier than  HOOGE list of them.

Status: offline 		I thought that stuff was in the v_GS_Computer_System_Product view

SELECT DISTINCT
  Name0,
  Vendor0,
  Version0
FROM  
  v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM_PRODUCT
WHERE  Version0 LIKE 'Think%'
ORDER BY Version0, Vendor0, Name0

Status: offline 		The one thing about IBM/Lenovo's Model Number is that each Model number is more directly tied (has a 1:1 relationship (?) ) to how the system was configured when it came out of the shop, while with the 'friendly' Model Names, 1 name can correspond to a multitude of sub-models/Configurations.

All 8190KG3 are the same model/configuration, while a 8190KG4 is similar model but configured slightly differently.

8910KG3 has a faster processor, faster FSB, smaller HDD, different graphics card, than the 8910KG4  - but both are based on the 8910E1U

Status: offline 		Isn't the computer system product view doing it for you?  I see all kinds of IBM's and Lenovo's when I run this
SELECT
count(distinct resourceID) as [Count],
Name0,
Vendor0,
Version0
FROM 
v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM_PRODUCT
WHERE  Version0 LIKE 'ThinkPad%'
GROUP BY
  Name0,
  Vendor0,
  Version0
ORDER BY Version0, Vendor0, Name0

Status: offline 		If you happen to have that on in SMS_DEF.mof.  It's not enabled by default.  If you want that one on so John's report works for you, edit (on your primary site servers) inboxes\clifiles.src\hinv, the sms_def.mof file.  Find "Computer System Product" in there, and change it from FALSE to TRUE for at the top of the section, and probably all of the individual items.  Although you could skip Caption (leave it false).  Not much in there. (so TRUE on Description, IdentifyingNumber, Name, SKUNumber, UUID, Vendor, Version)
