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.

If the S: drive isn’t already mapped, the function maps the management point as network drive S:. It then runs the WinPEInventory script to collect hardware inventory and upload it. If S: can’t be mapped, the function returns FALSE.

Note

If the web service is enabled in OSDGui.ini, the function uploads the inventory through the web service instead. 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 inventory to be processed while the hard drive 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
