Client Management Suite

I have 4500 users that are managed via Altiris 7.5 CMS, over the cloud, CEM.

I would like to create a custom data class and fill the data with a text value that would be returned via a sql script.

I know how to make the data class, i know how to locally run the script and provide output but I am not sure how to connect the two. The database is protected via a password so im not sure if that adds any complication. Any help would be appreciated.

Your script will need to have the information in it to generate the NSE's that will get sent to the Altiris server. I originaly tried to use a .bat file but could not find an example to generate the NSE's on the client. I ended up converting the script to .vbs.

I found this to be a good source of information when I created a custom inventory:

Just make sure to update the GUID to the GUID of your custom data class. To get the guid: From the Manage Custom Data Classes, select the custom data class you created and click the properties button. The GUID for you custom data class will be there, and you might want to note the Table Name that you will use to run a SQL query to see your results from the custom inventory.

I also attached the .vbs script from the custom inventory I created. It gathers information from the registry relating to SEP.
