I had to use CSProduct Get Version to get "ThinkCenter M58".

Will this work the same as the previous SELECT statement?
SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE model Like "%ThinkCentre M58%"

Or, would I have to change a part of it?

I have the same problem. It looks like Lenovo does things a bit different. I cant do a query to cover all "ThinkPads", I have to know all product "types" such as 6463 for a T61. If there is another way, Im all ears.

This query will target all thinkpad computers.

select *  from  SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM_PRODUCT on SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM_PRODUCT.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM_PRODUCT.Version like "ThinkPad%"

Thanks!! Im a Noob, is it correct to assume that this cannot be used in a task sequence?

This query is used for creating collections or console queries.
If you wan´t to use it within a TS it will have to look a bit diffrent.

Can you point me down a path?

A few questions about this process.

About adding packages for drivers...
1. Can I add multiple programs by simply adding multiple programs to the Sequence? What I mean is... I added a software package for a single device... In this case an HP NC2400. I then proceeded to add a quiclaunch driver setup.exe program and then a chipset.exe. I then designated the same package twice under the folder I created for the NC2400 and just designating the two programs seperately.

If yes then...
2. When I setup the package I am designating source files but then I am unsure as to how that fits with multiple programs. In this attempt I simply designated a folder \\seervername\drivers$\nc2400 which contained both the folders for the quicklaunch and the chipset and that didn't give me any trouble.

About adding driver packages instead of software packages.

1. I am only creating a software package because I have an MSI or EXE to install instead of an INF right? If I have an INF I create a driver package instead. I think I already saw that somewhere yesterday but I wanted to make sure.

Thank you,

Create a Package


place a checkmark in this package contains source files and click on Set


fill in the path to where you copied the driver (a driver share on your SCCM server)

This method worked... I don't know if it is best practice or not. it seems like it's AOK.

FYI if you wish to NOT install on a specific platform

SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE NOT Model Like "%VMware Virtual Platform%"

[xstnc]

Is it possible to query 2 models at once? Say HP 6930p and 8440p?
How would it look like?
Would I have to make 2 querys, or one?

Found the solution..

Connect it with: OR Model Like "%newvalue%"
for as many times as you need!

When you create the quickset for a computer do you also have to have a driver package create with all of the other drivers for that model of the laptop? I'm trying to did it for the E6510, E6410, E6500 and E6400 series and quickset was replaced with Control Point.

[anyweb]

you don't have to but you certaintly can

[emmathews83]

How would I create a package that has the quickset and the rest of the drivers? Would I just do the quickset then copy all of the drivers into the folder that it creates? Then create the quickset package?
