How to Query WMI for Computer Model Name

Posted in MDT,PowerShell,SCCM4 comments

When you build a task sequence in SCCM and MDT you can use WMI queries to run steps for specific computer models.  This is especially useful when installing driver packages or BIOS updates.  Here is an example of a WMI query to detect only Surface Pro 4 devices:

SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE Model Like “%Surface Pro 4%”

querywmi_03

Here are 2 methods to query WMI and find the model name for any computer.

  1. From the computer, run this PowerShell command:  Get-WmiObject Win32_ComputerSystem
    querywmi_02
  2. From a command prompt, run this WMIC command: wmic csproduct get name
    querywmi_01

      Todd - Hey, you can run on remote computer by using the -ComputerName parameter. See the below command…replace MyPCName with the remote computer name.

      Get-WmiObject Win32_ComputerSystem -ComputerName MyPCNameReplyCancel
