Good job Mike. I like "like" as you can get variations within models (never know with HP etc), which may still be supported in your environment, hence dropping the last bit. (e.g. DM) David - yes MDT "gather" and %model% perfectly fine, points 2 & 3 (and infer opposite to 1) from below do come into play sometimes when you have many manufacturers/models, hence using WMI. http://www.hayesjupe.com/sccm-osd-task-sequence-variables-a-beginners-guide/ A common standard (using WMI) is then applicable, regardless of scenario. Easier to doco and coach engineers ... when point 1 (from above) could be feasible, but in some scenarios 2 (or 3) do occur. Though ... "There's more than one way to skin a cat" :-) Shane

Can you point me in the right direction with that info.

Why don't you just use MDT Gather in your TS and instead of executing a new WMI query on every single step, just use the %Model% variable set by MDT?

Anyone have the wmi name for a HP 260 G1 Desktop Mini PC? We have a few of them on order and none on hand. I need to get the wmi in the task sequence.
