Retrieving Dell Information With SMS 2.0
Due to inherent limitations, Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS)
2.0 can only retrieve information from the root\cimv2 namespace. OMCI
provides information in the root\dellomci namespace. However, to make
certain key attributes available to SMS, OMCI duplicates them in the
root\cimv2 namespace. For Dell systems running OMCI, you can import the
following system attributes into SMS 2.0:
•

•
Asset tag
•
System vendor
