Query Routers and Switches
Hi,We are making a collection by query to list all the workstations, routers and switches on the network, but the list populates only the workstations. Any device with no name or netbios is not shown in the collection.If we do a query excluding the name and import it to a collection, nothing is populated.Any idea?Systems Engineer

For the most part ConfigMgr will not find routers and switches. For this you will need to look at 3<sup>rd</sup> party tools to do this. http://www.enhansoft.com/

But we are able to see all the routers and switches in "All Systems" after doing a Network Discovery. Now how to let a query based collection detect them?Systems Engineer

Bring up the properties of such a system and see which discovery properties are available. You can then build a collection based on that.
