Ran into an issue where I was seeing the following message in my Status Messages for a Configuration Manager 2012 Site.
Inventory Data Loader failed to process the file C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\inboxes\auth\dataldr.box\Process\H23G5WPJ.MIF because it is larger than the defined maximum allowable size of 5000000.
Solution: Increase the maximum allowable size, which is defined in the registry key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_INVENTORY_DATA_LOADER\Max MIF Size (the default is 5 MB), and wait for Inventory Data Loader to retry the operation.
After some Google-Fu I came across this Blog that explains how to fix it step by step.
Ran across a site full of good information from fellow Canadian IT Pros…
Once again, I am working on a Project where I needed to update COM Ports on Legacy Devices. After searching google for about an hour with no solution in sight, I decided to try AutoIT as it has rescued me before.
This script will launch Device Manager, search for the Device that you want to modify go through all the actions to make the change then apply it.
I used control handles so even if the dialog isn’t forefront it will still work.

I was on a Project where I needed to install Virtual Null Modems, since these weren’t physical devices PnP detection wouldn’t work…
I ended up writing this AutoIT Script to use the Add Hardware Wizard.
You are welcome to modify this script to suit your needs to install / configure Hardware. I’m really starting to like AutoIT
