Applies To: System Center Configuration Manager 2007, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R3, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP1, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP2

In Configuration Manager, the InventoryAction class is a client Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class that associates a set of queries with reporting details, tying together the item to report and the destination of the report.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all inherited properties.

Class InventoryAction : SMS_InventoryAgent_Policy
{
      UInt32 DefaultTimeout;
      String Description;
      String InventoryActionID;
      String InventoryActionLastUpdateTime;
      String PolicyID;
      String PolicyInstanceID;
      UInt32 PolicyPrecedence;
      String PolicyRuleID;
      String PolicySource;
      String PolicyVersion;
      String ReportDestination;
      UInt32 ReportTimeout;
      String ReportType;
};

  Access type: Read/Write

  Qualifiers: [realkey]

  Unique ID for the inventory action. Possible values are:

  Discovery	{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000003}
  Hardware Inventory	{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}
  Software Inventory	{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002}
  SoftwareFileCollection	{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000010}

• InventoryActionLastUpdateTime
  Data type: String

  Access type: Read/Write

  Qualifiers: None

  Timestamp of the last update to the InventoryAction instance.

• PolicyID
  Data type: String

  Access type: Read/Write

  Qualifiers: [key]

  Unique ID of the policy.

• PolicyInstanceID
  Data type: String

  Access type: Read/Write

  Qualifiers: [key]

  Unique ID of the policy instance.

• PolicyPrecedence
  Data type: UInt32

  Access type: Read/Write

  Qualifiers: None

  Precedence for the policy.

• PolicyRuleID
  Data type: String

  Access type: Read/Write

  Qualifiers: Key

  Unique ID of the rule used to create the policy.

• PolicySource
  Data type: String

  Access type: Read/Write

  Qualifiers: [key]

  Source of the policy.

• PolicyVersion
  Data type: String

  Access type: Read/Write

  Qualifiers: [key]

  Version of the policy.

• ReportDestination
  Data type: String

  Access type: Read/Write

  Qualifiers: None

  Destination address for the generated report.

• ReportTimeout
  Data type: UInt32

  Access type: Read/Write

  Qualifiers: None

  Maximum time that the client messaging framework attempts to transmit the report if the destination endpoint is unreachable.

• ReportType
  Data type: String

  Access type: Read/Write

  Qualifiers: None

  Type of inventory report. Possible values are:

  Full	Report contains all instances collected by the associated InventoryDataItem queries.
  Delta	Report contains instances that have changed since the last report
  Resync	Report contains instances in full report and also is triggered by a site policy resynchronization request

Remarks

Three predefined inventory actions are provided through the site policy: hardware inventory, data discovery, and software inventory. For each of these inventory actions, the Inventory Agent generates a report by using the associated InventoryDataItem Client WMI Class queries and sends the generated report to the specified destination.
