Table C.25 Network Adapter Attribute Class (SMS_G_System_NETWORK_ADAPTER)

Property (Bold if collected)	Data type	Example	Notes
AdapterType	string	"Ethernet 802.3"	Indicates the network adapter type.
Availability	uint32		Indicates the availability and status of the device. Values are: 1=Other 2=Unknown 3=Running/Full Power 4=Warning 5=In Test 6=Not Applicable 7=Power Off 8=Off Line 9=Off Duty 10=Degraded 11=Not Installed 12=Install Error 13=Power Save - Unknown 14=Power Save - Degraded 15=Power Save - Standby 16=Power Cycle
Caption	string		Describes the object. Maximum length is 64 characters.
Description	string	"3Com Fast EtherLink XL PCI 10/100Mb Adapter (3C905)"	Describes the object.
DeviceID	string	"El90x1"	Key. An address or other identifying information to uniquely name the LogicalDevice. Maximum length is 64 characters.
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.
Index	uint32	1	Indicates the index number of the network adapter.
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.
Installed	uint32		Determines whether the network adapter is installed in the system. Values are: 1=True 0=False If the value is True, the network adapter is installed.
MACAddress	string	"00:C0:4F:86:7B: C9"	Indicates the media access control address (MAC) of the network adapter.
Manufacturer	string	"3Com"	Indicates the name of the network adapter manufacturer.
MaxNumberControlled	uint32		Indicates the maximum number of directly addressable entities that this controller can support. If the number of addressable entities is unknown, use a value of zero (0).
Name	string	"[1] 3Com Fast EtherLink XL Adapter (3C905)"	Defines the label that the object is known by. Maximum label length is 256 characters.
PowerManagementSupported	uint32	1	A Boolean that indicates that the ComputerSystem and its running OperatingSystem support power management. This Boolean does not indicate whether power management features are currently enabled, or if they are enabled, which features are supported. Values are: 1=True 0=False
ProductName	string	"El90x"	Indicates the product name of the network adapter.
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.
ServiceName	string	"El90x1"	Indicates the service name the network adapter.
Status	string	"OK"	Indicates the current status of the object. Values are: OK Error Degraded Unknown Maximum length is 10 characters.
StatusInfo	string	"3"	Indicates the state of the LogicalDevice. Values are: 1=Other 2=Unknown 3=Enabled 4=Disabled 5=Not Applicable
SystemName	string	"SCALCLIENT4"	Indicates the scoping system’s name. Maximum length is 256 characters.
TimeOfLastReset	datetime	See “Date and Time Formats” at the beginning of Appendix B.	Indicates the last time the network adapter was reset.
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.
