To create a report or just check some HW inventory data on a single computer, navigate to the SCCM Properties page and click the Hardware Inventory button.

How to create a custom SCCM report based on hardware inventory on multiple computers?
With MPA Tools, it is quite easy!
Simply Ping / Display multiple computers from the list of your preferred source.
Go to the ACTIONS tab and select the Computer Properties blade.
In the Computer Properties action blade, you have multiple common computer properties that you can choose from—for example, CPU, RAM, Model, Serial Number, Etc.
Select the computer properties you would like on your report and click Add to a Sequence (so you can add additional actions). Note: Run Now to display the Information without sequencing.
MPA Tools first connects to a remote computer to gather the current data. If the remote computer is inaccessible, MPA Tools will connect to the SCCM server to collect the requested Information. You could use the “Load Properties from SCCM” option to skip connecting to remote computers and get data straight from SCCM (This could be the fastest choice).
TIP: Always check the Last Hardware Inventory Date on the SCCM client (this Information is displayed in the Action Log – Action Column). Hardware Inventory could be old or missing completely! If you are missing data in SCCM, you can still try and connect to the remote computer to collect the data. Just highlight the computer and rerun the task.
Below is a quick video on how to create an SCCM report in two clicks in MPA Tools; it is that simple!
