How to find Windows Embedded devices in SCCM.
I am implementing at one of my customers a situation where 3000 Windows embedded devices will be installed. In this environments I want to be sure that any Windows Embedded devices connected to the network gets discovered as an embedded system. SCCM needs to be configured to include an additional WMI property’s to distinguish Windows XP systems from Windows Embedded operating systems.
To do this , you need to open up the “SMS_def.mof” file on the SCCM Primary site server. It is located in the \inboxes\clifiles.src\hinv folder.
In the SMS_Def.mof file search for the string ”OSProductSuite” and change the related SMS Report setting from “False” to “Thru” :
[SMS_Report (False) ]
uint32 OSProductSuite;
[SMS_Report (TRUE) ]
uint32 OSProductSuite;
Save your change and close the file. The SMS_EXECUTIVE service needs to be re-started to apply the change.After the service restart, the SCCM clients will report about the “OSProductSuite” WMI property . After this action you could build your own collections to list or collect all windows embedded devices .
Hope it Helps ,
