Configuration Manager 2007 queries define and store the criteria for sets of database objects that you want to find. When used against a Configuration Manager site database, a query is a specific set of instructions that extract information about a defined set of objects. You can create queries and store them in the Configuration Manager site database. By running a query, you search the database for information about the objects that match the query criteria.
