I am working to create a custom WMI class for use with SCCM's device collection membership query rules to expose some organization specific information to SCCM for collection creation. I have managed to add a new class in with the MOF file below, and it shows up in the GUI as expected with the desired display name.

The only issue I believe I have left to solve is how to make the generated query work as expected. I know by default joins are not supported in WQL. However Microsoft seems to be using them regularly in these queries, and I have verified they work as expected outside of the application. Is there some sort of joining class I need to create to make this work? Is there some attribute to designate a property as a forigen key??

I have searched through the System Center Configuration Manager SDK documentation, and the WMI reference on the Windows Dev Center site for a few hours without much luck and would really appreciate any helpful input.

MOF File:

#pragma namespace ("\\.\root\sms\site_lab")
[DisplayName("CMDB CI Computer")]
class SMS_G_System_MTS_cmdb_ci_computer : SMS_G_System 

 [key] uint32 ResourceID;
 string asset_tag;
 string dv_company;
 string dv_cost_center;
 string dv_location;
;

SCCM Generated Query:

select * from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_MTS_cmdb_ci_computer on SMS_G_System_MTS_cmdb_ci_computer.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId

I am testing these commands with the Get-CimInstance command in powershell with the below results

Powershell:

This command returns the joined objects as expected.

Get-CimInstance -Namespace 'rootsmssite_lab' -Query 'select SMS_G_System_PROCESSOR.Architecture from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_PROCESSOR on SMS_G_System_PROCESSOR.ResourceId = SMS_R_System.ResourceId'

This command throws an "Invalid Query" Error.

Get-CimInstance -Namespace 'rootsmssite_lab' -Query 'select asset_tag from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_MTS_cmdb_ci_computer on SMS_G_System_MTS_cmdb_ci_computer.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId'
