Reporting Carpool Inventory

Use the following IDMIF to report carpool inventory data to SMS. You must use IDMIFs to report inventory data for non-system resource types (architectures).

//Architecture<Carpool>
//AgentID<Vehicle Discovery>
//UniqueID<9FD7821T8B14751>

Place the IDMIF in the inventory inbox on the site server, Sms\Inboxes\Inventry.box, where it is processed by the Inventory Data Loader. The loader creates the following new inventory classes if they do not already exist:

• SMS_G_Carpool_CARPOOL
• SMS_G_Carpool_TIRES
• SMS_G_Carpool_SERVICE

The inventory data loader associates the inventory data with the resource data by searching the Carpool resource type (SMS_R_Carpool) for an instance whose SMSUniqueIdentifier value equals the value of UniqueID.

You must perform the following steps after the IDMIF is processed and when the site server is rebooted.

Note  Do not perform these steps on Systems Management Server version 2.0 Service Pack 1 or later releases.

• Stop the Winmgmt service.

  Enter net stop winmgmt on the command line.

• Remove the CIM repository.

  Delete all files in the %Winnt%\System32\Wbem\Repository directory.

• Start the Winmgnt service.

  Enter net start winmgmt on the command line.
