Queries

 Queries allow you to gather information from the Configuration Manager database through the WBEM query language (WQL). This allows you to answer questions quickly or make mini-reports that might not be used often enough to be imported into the reporting interface. You can export these reports from the Configuration Manager console into different file formats and then email them for others to use in programs such as Microsoft Excel.

Queries are primarily used to make groups of Configuration Manager resources, called collections, that are used by other Configuration Manager features. These queries are a good way to identify resources based on WQL. Parameters entered in the queries GUI inside Configuration Manager can simplify the reuse of code within a collection. As you can see, queries are a very important piece of the Capacity Management process in the Service Design phase in ITIL and the Plan phase of MOF.
