Summary

Queries are an excellent means to gather data, test results for collections, and understand the requirements of creating reports. This chapter covered the use of the ConfigMgr query builder for constructing queries. It discussed how to use advanced functions to create complex queries for times when the query builder is inadequate, and the fundamentals about classes and operators to enable you to build your own queries. In addition, this chapter covered a method you can use to convert WQL to SQL, gave examples of advanced queries, and discussed creating status message queries.
