Collecting Hardware Inventory Overview

Systems Management Server (SMS) can collect hardware inventory from SMS clients. You can use Resource Explorer to view hardware inventory for a client. You can query on hardware inventory and even use hardware inventory to build collections. For example, you could create a collection of all computers that have Pentium processors and at least 32 MB of RAM.

To configure hardware inventory for a site, you use the Hardware Inventory Client Agent Properties dialog box in Site Settings.
