Introduction

Sometimes it might be useful to retrieve extra information that are stored in external sources into ManagementStudio. The guide will walk through the steps required to retrieve a Device processor core count from SCCM into ManagementStudio.

Any fields stored in the SCCM DB or Active Directory can be retrieved into ManagementStudio

Step 1 - Create a Field to hold the value

• Switch to Administration -> Extensions -> Connectors -> Devices Conn UI (1).
• Select the SCCM tab (2) from the tabbed menu on the left.
• Click New Field (3).
• Set the field label to Number of Cores with type as Number of Integer (4).
• Set the display Order so that it shows in the area as the other Processor Fields (5).
• Click Save Changes (6).
• Select and right click on the new field.
• Scroll down and select Copy Path from the context menu (7).

Step 2 - Configure SCCM Connector to harvest the new field

• Switch to Administration -> Extensions -> Connectors (1).
• Select the SCCM connector (2).

• Go to the Import Devices (1) panel.
• Click Add New Setting (2) to add a line to the bottom of the mapping table.
• Specify the details as follows:
• Target: Custom Field
• MS Field: [Path copied from step 1]
• SCCM Field: [NumberOfCores0@v_GS_Processor@dbo]

• Click Save Changes at the top.
• Run the SCCM Connector.
• When the connector finishes, it will retrieve the device processor core count and populate the field specified in ManagementStudio.
