Applies To: System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1, System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager

The System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager hardware inventory server Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) classes are generated dynamically.

During the System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager hardware inventory process, the name for a class is transformed from "Win32_hardware" to "SMS_G_System_hardware". For example, "Win32_DiskDrive" translates to "SMS_G_System_DISK".

In addition to the class name change, the following differences are found between the Win32 classes and the System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager hardware inventory server classes:

  • Each System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager class inherits four properties from SMS_G_System_Current Server WMI Class.

  • The System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager hardware inventory classes do not support the Win32 class methods.

  • Many of the System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager hardware inventory classes contain a subset of the Win32 class properties.
