The System attribute class is a special use class that contains a subset of the discovery data in the System Resource class. It was created to be queried by system components. This class appears as part of the hardware information in Resource Explorer and as part of the System Resource Object Type in the Query Builder. This class contains information about a client computer’s system.
Table B.57 System Class (SMS_G_System_SYSTEM)
| Property | Data type | Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Domain | string | "RED1DOM" | Indicates the name of the Windows NT domain that the system belongs to. |
| GroupID | uint32 | 1 | Key. Within one ResourceID (one SMS client), GroupID distinguishes one instance of a class from another. Objects with the same ResourceID and GroupID are “deltas” of one another, describing the same hardware inventory instance at different points in time. |
| Name | string | "RED25" | Defines the label that the object is known by. Maximum length is 256 characters. |
| ResourceID | uint32 | 1 | Key. Indicates an identifier for the resource that is unique to this site. System Resource Type inventory items with the same ResourceID were all discovered on the same SMS client. A ResourceID is an integer generated for the sake of SQL. It is not unique outside the site and should be used only for short-term querying purposes. |
| RevisionID | uint32 | 1 | Objects with the same ResourceID and GroupID are deltas, differentiated from one another by RevisionID number. The highest number is the most recent update. |
| SMSID | string | "GUID:C5E57120-5274-11D2-828F-00C04FAB9FB" | Indicates a unique, identifier, assigned by SMS. |
| SystemRole | string | "Workstation" | Indicates the system roles played by the computer system. |
| SystemType | string | "X86-based PC" | Describes the system. |
| TimeStamp | string | See “Date and Time Formats” at the beginning of this appendix. | Indicates the creation time (revision time) of this delta. |
