Table C.16 Environment Attribute Class (SMS_G_System_ENVIRONMENT)
| Property (Bold if collected) | Data type | Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caption | string | Describes the object. Maximum length is 64 characters. | |
| Description | string | Describes the object. | |
| GroupID | uint32 | 2 | 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. This is not a collectable property. |
| InstallDate | datetime | See “Date and Time Formats” at the beginning of Appendix B. | Indicates when the object was installed. The absence of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed. |
| Name | string | "windir" | Key. Defines the label that the object is known by. Maximum length is 256 characters. |
| ResourceId | uint32 | 42 | Key. Inventory items with the same ResourceId were all discovered on the same SMS client. The ResourceId identifies the 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. It is not a collectable property. |
| 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. This is not a collectable property. |
| Status | string | "OK" | Indicates the current status of the object.
Values are: Maximum length is 10 characters. |
| SystemVariable | uint32 | 1 | Determines whether the variable is a system variable.
Values are: If the value is True, the variable is a system variable. |
| TimeStamp | datetime | See “Date and Time Formats” at the beginning of Appendix B. | Indicates when the information in this object was last revised. This is not a collectable property. |
| UserName | string | "<SYSTEM>" | Key. Indicates the user name of a Win32 environment. |
| VariableValue | string | "%SystemRoot%" | Indicates the value of a Win32 environment variable. |
