Guidelines for Microsoft Windows based Operating Systems
The following sections defines the XML guidelines for setting up custom inventory scripts for
Windows based Operating Systems. In each case, the item will be added to the hardware
inventory under the Default device class unless a specific device class (
item class=“”

name

value
is the literal typed between the open and close tags.
Example XML: (This example will return the string value defined between the open and
close tags)

Patch Management 6.4 SP2 Custom Inventory</item>

custom inventory file):
