SUMMARY

Microsoft has made the "How to Extend the Sms_def.mof File by Using the Windows Management Instrumentation Registry Providers" white paper available.

MORE INFORMATION

Systems Management Server (SMS) uses the Sms_def.mof file to specify which hardware classes and attributes are collected and reported for hardware inventory. This white paper describes how to implement the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Registry Providers by modifying the Sms_def.mof file to gather information from the registry on client computers. You can do this to gather information from the registry on SMS clients and to retain this information in the hardware inventory for creating queries and collections, and for targeting software distribution packages.
