MECM Device Custom Properties

Question

Hi,

I'm using MECM 2107 and I like the device custom properties option so now I can set custom properties for computers and query them.

How to automate this process via Task Sequence? can it be done via PowerShell?

Answer 1

Hi, @Bonus12

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

As far as I know, it can not be configured via task sequence or powershell now.
We can set it via UI or API:

What's the use case for doing this during a TS?

If the data you are attempting to add to the DB is for a device and is directly from that device, then you should use a hardware inventory extension and not a custom device property. Device properties are for adding information about devices from some other external source and not the device itself; e.g., your help desk/ticketing software, your HR software, or your hardware inventory system.
