An essential part of any system containing a database is the ability to retrieve information from the database at any time. This process is called querying.
Queries can, for example, be used as basis for creating the following:
The Queries folder includes a large number of predefined queries categorized in the following subfolders:
Lists all the predefined and user-defined queries in this DSM domain.
Lists queries that return lists of computers in the domain that fulfill the criteria specified in the query.
Lists queries that return lists of users in the domain that fulfill the criteria specified in the query.
Lists queries that return lists of assets in the domain that are not managed by Client Automation.
Lists queries that return lists of external assets in the domain.
Note: The All External Assets folder and the External Assets subfolder under the Queries node are not available in the DSM Explorer until you create an external asset definition and restart the DSM Explorer. For more information, see How MIF Files Are Used in External Asset Recognition in the Asset Management Administration Guide.
Lists queries that return lists of assets that are related to a boot server or lists OSIM configurations.
Note: Available categories and options may vary depending on the products and components installed.
Lists queries that return lists of user profiles in the domain that fulfill the criteria specified in the query.
Lists all user-defined queries.
Lists queries that return a variety of information about assets, such as registration information, obsolete computers, and so on. These lists can be organized in folders.
Lists queries that return security-specific information for assets.
Lists predefined queries that return commonly used information, such as Windows OS version numbers, assets with IP address changes, and so on.
Lists queries that return hardware-specific information such as vendor, memory, power settings, monitors, and so on.
Lists queries that return operating system-specific information and operating system hardware requirements.
Lists queries that return assets running games from known game vendors, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Office suites, and others.
Note: Available categories and options may vary depending on the products and components installed.
