The Configuration Manager hardware inventory server WMI classes are generated dynamically.
During the Configuration Manager hardware inventory process, the name for a class is transformed from "Win32_hardware" to "SMS_G_System_hardware". For example, "Win32_DiskDrive" translates to "SMS_G_System_DISK".
In addition to the class name change, the following differences are found between the Win32 classes and the Configuration Manager hardware inventory server classes:
Each Configuration Manager class inherits four properties from SMS_G_System_Current Server WMI Class.
The Configuration Manager hardware inventory classes don't support the Win32 class methods.
Many of the Configuration Manager hardware inventory classes contain a subset of the Win32 class properties.
