Exporting Computer Identification Data to a File

To export computer identification data to a file:

Expand the Server item.
Click Computers or <All Computers>.
In the Result pane, select and right-click the computers whose data you want export.
Select Edit Computer Properties.

The Edit Computer Properties dialog box opens with the computer data you want to export.

Click Export to File.

The File Import/Export Setting dialog box opens, with the default field delimiter from the CCM Command Center Properties > Import/Export Settings properties page.

If you want the column headers from the Edit Computer Properties dialog box to display as the first row of the export file, check the First line is column header line check box.
If you want to append the rows you are exporting to the end of an existing file, check the Append lines if file exists check box.

When this check box is clear, the new export file will overwrite an existing file.

Click OK.

The Save As dialog box opens with the default directory name you defined on the CCM Command Center Properties > Import/Export Settings properties page.

Name the file and click Save.

Exporting Computer Identification Data to a File

You can export CCM computer identification information to an external comma, semicolon, colon, or tab-delimited text file.

NOTE: Do not use the MMC Export List function, available from the Computers object context menu, if you intend to later import the file into CCM. MMC Export Lists can be used with other external applications, not with CCM.

To export data that will later be imported to CCM, use the CCM Edit Computer Properties dialog Export to File button, described below.
