SCCM Hardware Inventory with Verification

This script will initiate a hardware inventory. It scans the InventoryAgent.log file for the initiation of the hardware inventory and then for the completion. The script will return an error code 1 if the initiation was ignored or it exceeded five minutes. The purpose of this is to verify a hardware inventory was actually initiated. I have had instances where I would execute a hardware inventory multiple times not knowing if it actually occurred. This script verifies that.

You can download the script from my GitHub site located here.


 <#  
      .SYNOPSIS  
           Initiate SCCM Hardware Inventory  
        
      .DESCRIPTION  
           This script will initiate an SCCM hardware inventory and return a 1 if it fails to initiate or a 0 if it is a success. The script works by scanning the InventoryAgent. log file for the status of the hardware inventory.
