SQL query for SCCM 2007 R2 to find all Dell desktops and laptops

My colleague wrote a SQL query for SCCM 2007 R2 that finds all the Dell desktops and laptops in our environment. select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System   INNER JOIN SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM   ON SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.ResourceId = SMS_R_System.ResourceId  WHERE SMS_R_System.NetbiosName NOT LIKE "SR%"   AND SMS_R_System.Active = 1  AND SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Manufacturer00 like "%Dell%"

cannot launch App-V applications. Application Virtualization Client service cannot start.

If you have a user who cannot launch App-V applications, try the following: -           Check the Application Virtualization Client service is running. -           If it will not start, open a CMD prompt with admin privileges, and type: winmgmt /verifyrepository -           If the result is “ Repository inconsistent”, then type : winmgmt /salvagerepository -           Restart the Windows Management Instrumentation and the Application Virtualization Client services. -          if that command does not work, try the command winmgmt /resetrepository This should fix any WMI errors which may cause App-V to stop running.
