CMS_SubmitWinPEInventory(Deprecated)

VB Scripting Library > OSD Scripting Library > CMS functions (OSD)

CMS_SubmitWinPEInventory()

Creates the computer as a unit in the management point, and uploads basic hardware inventory.

The function will map the management point as a networkdrive (S:), create a rfc file to clear existing inventory if it exist, wait for it to be processed by the replicator service, and finally execute the WinPeInvetory script to collect hardware inventory and upload it.

Note

The function will detect if the prestage web service is enabled, and in this case upload inventory through this service. Important: this now happens automatically under PXE boot — there is no need to add this function.

Deprecated

This function is deprecated. If it is still used, it should be removed — it is no longer needed and only makes the OSD script take longer to run.

Arguments

No arguments provided.

Return Type

Boolean, TRUE if function completed successfully.

Remarks

Typically used in the PreDiskPartScript.wsf to allow the replicator to process inventory while harddrive is being partitioned and formatted.

Example

The following example will check if a management point is specified, and upload inventory.

• VBScript

Private Function IncludeScript(sScriptFile)
 '...
End Function

'Begin
  bStatus=True
  If bStatus Then bStatus=IncludeScript("customlib.cis")
  If bStatus Then bStatus=IncludeLibrary("Capalib.cin")
  If bStatus Then bStatus=IncludeLibrary("Osdlib.cin")
  If bStatus Then bStatus=Job_Start("WS","Script Name","1.0","ScriptName.log","INSTALL")
  If bStatus Then bStatus=OSD_Initialize()

  If bStatus and gsManagementPoint <> "" Then bStatus=CMS_SubmitWinPEInventory()

  Job_End(bStatus)
'End main
