SCCM reporting model number and not model type (Lenovo)

N2IT

I work in a multi machine environment and noticed the Lenovo's are reporting model numbers not model types. However the Dells and other vendors machines/devices are reporting the model type (EG Optiplex). Has anyone ran across this?

Thanks!

Found this interesting piece.

Good stuff. I've found I have to re-write the built-in reports to do something other than what they do quite a bit, but this would have been a pain. Good thing someone else solved the problem and was kind enough to share the solution.

I find it bizarre that on an IT forum and the wide spread use of SCCM no one found this interesting or no one has ran into this.

I ran into this several years ago. I had to write a custom report for Lenovo models and pretty much did this. It could be that SCCM is not very prevalent in the TE community though.
