SCCM 2007 – Status Messages – SMS_MP_CONTROL_MANAGER

Just a short note to align some field names. Within status message reports, you may occasionally receive messages which reflect an item referred to as a “GUID.”

For the purposes of reporting:

Status messages referring to client “GUID’s” are referring to the field name, “v_R_System.SMS_Unique_Identifier0.”

Personally, I think they should rename the message so that it states something other than GUID, since there are variables wiithin the SCCM database which are referred to as GUID – which can be somewhat confusing to those initially diving into the views.

SCCM 2007 – Configuration – MOF File Addition for Win32_ComputerSystemProduct

Just a short FYI for people who happen to enable the class, Win32_ComputerSystemProduct, within the MOF file. Within the database, this will show up as dbo.v_GS_Client0. A bit confusing in my opinion, but I wanted to get this out so that others don’t have to spend too much time looking for it.
