Inventory Lenovo Model Names

Lenovo stores its friendly model names in a different WMI class that any other manufacturer. By default, ConfigMgr does not inventory this WMI class. To populate the Lenovo model names you must extend hardware inventory to include the ComputerSystemProduct WMI class. Adding this class will ensure that the reports in BI for SCCM contain model names such as, "X1 Carbon" rather than something like "20K3". For more information on extending Configuration Manager hardware inventory see Enable or disable existing classes in the How to extend hardware inventory Configuration Manager documentation page.
