Hardware Inventory Cycle — Client Action on Collection

The Hardware Inventory Cycle collects information such as available disk space, processor type, and operating system about each computer. This is part of the SCCM inventory functionality.

This action can be run on device collections, or using a similar tool designed for single and multi-selected devices.

To run this tool:

1. In your Configuration Manager console, right-click on a device collection.

2. Click Right Click Tools > Client Actions on Collection > Hardware Inventory Cycle.

The window that opens displays progress and successful completion.
