SUMMARY
=======
When you run hardware inventory on a client computer that is running Systems
Management Server (SMS) 2.0, network traffic may be generated.
MORE INFORMATION
================
During a hardware inventory cycle, the SMS-based client collects information
based on classes that are enabled in the Sms_def.mof file. To collect the
requested information, the client may have to access network resources. The
following classes are known to cause network traffic by the SMS-based client
during a hardware inventory cycle:
- Win32_UserAccount
- Win32_Group
- Win32_SystemAccount
- Win32_NetworkLogonProfile
- Win32_Desktop
- Win32_BootConfiguration
- Win32_Environment
- Win32_ProgramGroup
- Win32_PrinterConfiguration
- Win32_LogicalDisk
- SMS_LogicalDisk
- SMS_Printer
Most of this network traffic travels through named pipes to the appropriate
resources such as domain controllers and printers.
