I'm running Ghost Console 11.02 and would like to get asset tag information into my inventory. I know there is wmi class that does this but I'm not sure how to get that added into the console. The class is Win32_SystemEnclosure and specifically looking for SMBIOSAssetTag. I don't see that as a Collected Data Set so how do I get to it?

Hi,

You can add the class into inventory db by creating a new collected data for Win32_SystemEnclosure.

Select the appropriate namespace like, for this class, root\cimv2 & then select the wmi class, Win32_SystemEnclosure. Once the collected data is defined, you can also select what properties you want to collect for this class.

Enable Collected data set option

Enable Collected data set option in the Tools-Options-Inventory as it is disabled by default.

See article I just published to add WMI to ghost console

I just published a step-by-step article on how to add new/extra WMI classes.
I added monitor serial numbers to WMI in the clients and wanted them to be available for reports.

One thing that I found out to make it easier is to add the extra WMI classes to the machine/server that runs your Ghost Console as well as your clients.

Hope this helps..
