This class contains information about the device that the client computer uses as a mouse. This class is included in a default hardware inventory operation.
Table C.37 Pointing Device Class (SMS_G_System_POINTING DEVICE)
| Property (Bold if collected) | Data type | Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Availability | uint32 | Indicates the availability and status of the device.
Values are: | |
| Caption | string | Describes the object. Maximum length is 64 characters. | |
| Description | string | "SERMOUSE" | Describes the object. |
| DeviceID | string | "SERMOUSE" | Key. Names the LogicalDevice uniquely. Maximum length 64 is 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. |
| HardwareType | string | "MSH0001 - MICROSOFT SERIAL MOUSE WITH WHEEL" | Indicates the hardware type of a Win32 pointing device. |
| InfFileName | string | "ab.inf" | Indicates the name of the INF file of the Win32 pointing device. |
| InfSection | string | Indicates the section of the INF file that holds configuration information for the Win32 pointing device. | |
| 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 | "SERMOUSE" | Defines the label that the object is known by. Maximum length is 256 characters. |
| NumberOfButtons | uint32 | 3 | Indicates the number of buttons. If the value is 0, the pointing device has no buttons. |
| PointingType | string | Indicates the type of the pointing device.
Values are: | |
| PowerManagementSupported | uint32 | 1 | A Boolean that indicates that the ComputerSystem and its running OperatingSystem support power management. This Boolean does not indicate that power management features are currently enabled or if they are enabled, which features are supported.
Values are: |
| Resolution | uint32 | Indicates the tracking resolution of the PointingDevice in counts per inch. | |
| 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. |
| SampleRate | uint32 | Indicates the sample rate of the Win32 pointing device. | |
| Status | string | "OK" | Indicates the current status of the object.
Values are: |
| StatusInfo | string | "3" | Indicates the state of the LogicalDevice.
Values are: |
| Synch | uint32 | ||
| SystemName | string | "SMS20NTWKS" | Indicates the scoping system’s name. Maximum length is 256 characters. |
| 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. |
