The Data field displays up to 255 characters of data. If the data consists of more than 255 characters, an error message is displayed.

The items to be updated when system information is obtained depend on a setting specified on the Options page that was used when the Get system information from client job was created, as explained below.

• When Acquire all information was selected
  All system information is deleted and the system information reported by the client is displayed.
  
• When Acquire modified information was selected
  Only the modified items of system information are reported by the client, and the reported system information is applied.
  

Items for which the client could not obtain information are not reported to the managing server. Information items not reported by the client are not displayed when the system information is updated.

Note that N/A is reported for the following items even when the client could not obtain the information:

• IE Patch
• WMI
• Windows Installer
• MBSA
• Windows Update Agent
• AMT firmware version

When N/A is displayed for any item other than those listed above, it means that N/A was the value that the client obtained.
