Summary:

How do I define more retrieved properties?

Solution:

Retrieved properties can examine anything that can be expressed using the BigFix Relevance Language, which basically includes any attribute that can be examined by the computer. The inspectable attributes include information about the CPU, BIOS, RAM, OS, WMI, peripherals, files, hard disks, services, the information in the registry, and much more. For a complete list of all the inspectors, please visit:
