Hello David,
The Win32_PhysicalMemory class should be able to help you out here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/win32_physicalmemory.asp
Below is an example sms_def.mof edit that should get you the information you
need:
[SMS_Report (TRUE),SMS_Group_Name ("Physical Memory"),
SMS_Class_ID ("Microsoft|Physical_Memory|1.0") ]
class Win32_PhysicalMemory : SMS_Class_Template
{
[SMS_Report (TRUE)] string BankLabel;
[SMS_Report (TRUE), SMS_Units("Megabytes")] uint64 Capacity;
[SMS_Report (TRUE)] string Caption;
[SMS_Report (TRUE)] string DeviceLocator[];
[SMS_Report (TRUE)] uint16 FormFactor;
[SMS_Report (TRUE)] string Manufacturer;
[SMS_Report (TRUE)] uint16 MemoryType;
[SMS_Report (TRUE)] uint32 PositionInRow;
[SMS_Report (TRUE)] uint32 Speed;
[SMS_Report (TRUE),Key] string Tag;
[SMS_Report (TRUE),Key] string CreationClassName;
};
All of the available fields aren't listed here for reporting, you can add
whatever other fields you would like to from the link above which explains
them all. Just ensure that you leave the last two (Tag and
CreationClassName) and that you have them set as key fields for this class.
Because the physical memory data is stored in an array, without the key
fields you're going to have issues with your database tables!
Hope this helps,

Management and their perogative to change their minds from one week to the
next now considerit a priority to know how much and what type of memory is
in
the machines on a cretain subnet.
Writing a query to return machine name, who logged on last, and how much
memory is in a machine is not a big drama and has already been done.
My question is this does anyone know if SMS collects information on the
type
of RAM installed in a machine. If it does not by default, then is it
possible
to extend SMS somehow to do so? Then of course if it is possible how do I
do
it?
In a previous lifetime in what seems to be another universe I vaguely
remeber modifying the SMS_DEF.MOF file to collect BIOS information, but
that
was under strict instructions from more experienced SMS gurus and was in
version 2.0. Is this the place I should be looking?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Kind regards,
David Buckley.
