Just because I have to ask the question... In your CM12 console, Administration, Client Settings.  right-click properties on "Default Client Settings", then in Hardware Inventory... "collect Mif files" does say at least "Collect NOIDMIF files" right?  and not "None"  ?

(and an OT question... CM12?  why not current branch?)

So I was able to get it imported but my client does populate the data. 

This is the MIF from SMS07

 

Start Component

Name = "WORKSTATION"

Start Group

Name = "Division Indicator"

ID = 1

Class = "Microsoft|DivisionMIF|1.0"

Start Attribute

Name = "Division"

ID = 1

ACCESS = READ-ONLY

Storage = Specific

Type = String(100)

Value = "Division of Office Group"

End Attribute

End Group

End Component

This is the MOF for 2012

[ SMS_Report (TRUE),
  SMS_Group_Name ("Division Information"),
  SMS_Class_ID ("Microsoft|SMXDivisionMIF|1.0"),
  Namespace ("\\\\\\\\.\\\\root\\\\cimv2") ]
class Division_Indicator : SMS_Class_Template
{
    [ SMS_Report (TRUE), key ]
    String     Division_Indicator;
};

Hello

I am working on a migration from 07 to 12.

We have a CM07 mif located on every client that identifies Office group membership for each workstation.  Several collections are based on this Office group membership.  

Now that we are migrating on CM12 side I tried to import the MOF. However the file will NOT import.  After several modifications to the file, it is clear that the file will not import due to the special characters in the the class name.  

Microsoft|OfficeGroup|1.0

If I remove the pipes and the period the file will import.  However, the mif file on each system has the class name including the pipe and period.

Is there anyway to enter the class name

Microsoft|OfficeGroup|1.0

In CM12?

The alternative would be change the MID on each system.  That's really not an alternative.
