How can we discover Thin Clients with Discovery and Computers with SCCM? We do not have Thin Clients in SCCM.

@Ashutosh Munot 

Or anyone else that can answer.

We currently have computers(Laptops and Desktops) and Thin client (HP) in the environment. We are using SCCM right now for Computers but not Thin Clients. Is there any way we can discover Thin clients with SN Discovery and keep the computers discovering with SCCM? If so, how?

I would appreciate any help you can give me. 

Thanks,

Len Williams

If you are trying to discover the physical hardware, and snmp is not an option.  You can use ssh.  You will need to get an ssh user that you can use on each thin client and create a custom pattern.  The Linux pattern works for some of the fields, but not all, because of the limited commands available.  If the thin clients are Igel based the hardinfo command can be used to get most of the data you need.

I cannot give you more information, because I am still working it out for myself.  I am starting with the Linux Server Pattern and working from there.

If anyone else has mere information, please provide it.
