  7. Extended WQL • Extended Wql (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc146121.aspx) • Select x from class • Other keywords • Distinct, count, join, where, order by • In / not in • GetDate, datediff, dateadd http://www.myitforum.com/articles/8/view.asp?id=10909 SELECT DISTINCT SMS_MonthlyUsageSummary.ResourceID FROM SMS_MonthlyUsageSummary INNER JOIN SMS_MeteredFiles ON SMS_MonthlyUsageSummary.FileID = SMS_MeteredFile.MeteredFileID WHERE DateDiff(day,SMS_MonthlyUsageSummary.LastUsage, GetDate()) < 90 AND SMS_MeteredFiles.RuleID = 6

  8. WMI Tools • Wbemtest • Cim studio • Wmic • http://scug.be/blogs/sccm/archive/2009/09/15/adding-wmic-right-click-actions-to-the-configmgr-2007-admin-console-1.aspx • Policyspy • Script • SDK • http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=064A995F-EF13-4200-81AD-E3AF6218EDCC&displaylang=en

  12. SccmAutoDoc • What is SccmAutodoc? • My source for getting to know WMI in ConfigMgr • A program that, based on WMI queries automatically documents your site settings • Where can I get SccmAutodoc? • SccmAutodoc 1.126 is currently in beta and can be downloaded from http://www.scug.be/media • Is SccmAutodoc freeware? • SccmAutodoc will become moderately priced software once it leaves the beta stages, hopefully somewhere near the end of this year.
