This post describes how to inventory Office 365 using SCCM 1606. We will also provide a free report at the end of the post that you could use on your Reporting Point to easily display Office 365 inventory data.
SCCM 1606 introduces new hardware inventory classes for Office 365 configurations. You no longer need to edit your MOF files to gather Office 365 inventory. If you are using SCCM 1602 or below, follow Jason Sandys post which describes Office 365 inventory process using a MOF customization.
If your goal is to deploy Office 365 updates, refer to our post on how to manage Office 365 updates using SCCM.

Office 365 Inventory Data
Office 365 is using new update channels and update mechanisms. Tracking versions and update channels is an important task. The good news is that it’s easy to do using SCCM 1606 but the data needs to be interpreted as it’s not straightforward (mostly for the update channel).
Here’s the complete definition of the update channel and its meaning :
Update Channels

Insider Preview / Monthly (Targeted) | http://officecdn.microsoft.com/pr/64256afe-f5d9-4f86-8936-8840a6a4f5be |

How to enable Office 365 Inventory
After upgrading to SCCM 1606, your Default Client Settings should already gather the new inventory class. Here’s the step to check if it’s enabled :
- Open the SCCM Console
- Go to Administration / Client Settings
- Right-Click your Default Client Setting, select Properties
- Click on Hardware Inventory
- Click on Set Classes
- Ensure that Office365ProPlusConfiguration is enabled, click OK (remove unneeded field if necessary)
Verification
Now that our classes are enabled, trigger a Machine Policy Retrieval & Evaluation Cycle (to have the latest Client Settings) followed by an Hardware inventory Cycle on a computer that has Office installed. Once the inventory is completed, check the inventory using Resource Explorer :
- In the SCCM Console
- Right-Click your device, select Start / Resource Explorer
- Confirm that you have OFFICE365PROPLUSCONFIGURATIONS listed
