Getting Started with Windows Custom Information
Windows Custom Information (WCI) is data collected from VCM managed machines that is created by
PowerShell scripts. WCI supplements and extends the data collected by VCM from managed Windows
machines using other VCM data types.
You can create or modify WCI scripts to collect almost any data type that is accessible from VCM
managed machines. VCM supports PowerShell scripting and XML output to collect Windows Custom
Information.
Figure 7–1. Windows Custom Information Collection Process
To extend the data collected by VCM from managed Windows machines using other VCM data types,
collect Windows Custom Information. Configure the prerequisites and create and validate your
PowerShell script.
