The System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager hardware inventory server Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) classes are generated dynamically.
During the System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager hardware inventory process, the name for a class is transformed from "Win32_hardware" to "SMS_G_System_hardware". For example, "Win32_DiskDrive" translates to "SMS_G_System_DISK".
In addition to the class name change, the following differences are found between the Win32 classes and the System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager hardware inventory server classes:
- Each System Center 2012 R2 Configuration
Manager class inherits four properties from SMS_G_System_Current
Server WMI Class.
- The System Center 2012 R2 Configuration
Manager hardware inventory classes do not support the Win32 class
methods.
- Many of the System Center 2012 R2
Configuration Manager hardware inventory classes contain a subset
of the Win32 class properties.
