MIF Checker Tool (MIFCheck.exe)

Use the MIF Checker tool to validate the syntax of a Management Information Format (MIF) file before submitting it to an SMS site system. MIF Checker will report the syntax and semantic errors of a specified MIF file at the command line. You can also specify that the MIF file be parsed and displayed in a readable format.

The MIF Checker tool is designed to help independent software vendors (ISVs) check the syntax of MIF files used to extend hardware inventory.

Note MIF Checker will not work with delta MIF files.

MIF Checker Syntax

mifcheck [/dump] file

/dump: Displays the MIF file in a readable format. If you run MIF Checker without specifying the /dump option, the MIF files are checked for syntax errors only.
file: The name of the MIF file.

Note When using this tool, the MIF file must be in the same directory as MIFCheck.exe.

Using MIF Checker

When you run the MIF Checker tool, the tool will report only one error at a time. Therefore, you must rerun MIF Checker after correcting each error, to verify that each error is resolved.
