The Management Information Format (.MIF) files are used to describe a hardware or software component data. MIF files are used by asset management system to report the system configuration information. In asset management each scheduled inventory, templates, configuration files and external asset definitions consists of a mif file.
The .MIF file is a text file, which is installed and presented to the Service Layer for inclusion in the MIF database. You can modify a .MIF file with a text editor, although component providers are encouraged to automate this process. The Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) has designed the specifications for .MIF files in the Desktop Management Interface (DMI) specification.
Asset management uses the .MIF files to register and store information locally on the agent working directories.
