Configuration Manager 2012 - MDT Deployment Info to Hardware Inventory
If you are integrating MDT into ConfigMgr 2012, one of the steps it runs is Tattoo, which runs ztitatoo.wsf
.
This adds some basic information about the deployment to the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Deployment 4
, including the OSD Package ID, the date the computer was deployed, and the type of deployment.
I want this information captured in the hardware inventory so I can easily find computers that haven’t been refreshed in awhile. Since MDT includes a MOF file, capturing this in hardware inventory is fairly easy.
- In the ConfigMgr console, go to Administration -> Client Settings
- Edit the appropriate client settings and go to the Hardware Inventory tab
- Click Set Classes. On the window that pops up, click Add
- Connect to a computer that has already been deployed with an MDT task sequence.
- Check
Microsoft_BDD_Info
After the next hardware scan cycle, you’ll have a new Microsoft_BDD_Info
section that contains the deployment timestamp and other useful information to report on.
