Reply to me if you have some information’s about. To find all the current Unknown devices select the Devices and filter them by “Unknown”:īut not all devices are listet – for some reason and I couldn’t find out why. Why? Normally when you PXE boot a Unknown Computer it will create a new entry in the Console called “Unknown”. This can be a reasons to enable Unknown Computer support. If you boot some DELL devices (also new models like Latitude 7280), you receive a different SMBIOS GUID on the Screen of the Device compared to the one you get with WMI or in the SMSPXE.log of the Distribution Point. The other reason to enable “Unknown Computer” support can be, the issue with DELL SMBIOS GUIDs. So we decided to build a service which is using PowerShell in a WIM to create a computer asset in the CMDB. In one case we had to enable this because the customer missed to get a hardware list from his hardware vendor and was not able to do a bulk import of the devices to ConfigMgr. I’m personally not a big fan of this feature, but some customer have a requirement to enable this option and that’s OK. Let’s talk about Unknown Computer Support in ConfigMgr Current Branch.
