  Hi,
  
  I used the MOF Extensions Registry tool by Mark Cochrane to generate the entries to be added to configuration.mof and sms_def.mof. You can download the tool from - http://www.myitforum.com/inc/upload/12336RegKeyToMOF.zip
  
  In my example I added all the regvalues from the BIOS key. You should run the tool your self and customize it to your needs.
  
  You can copy this to configuration.mof
  #pragma namespace ("\\\\.\\root\\cimv2")
  #pragma deleteclass("SYS_BIOS", NOFAIL)
  [DYNPROPS]
  Class SYS_BIOS
  {
  [key] string KeyName;
  Uint32 BiosMajorRelease;
  Uint32 BiosMinorRelease;
  Uint32 ECFirmwareMajorRelease;
  Uint32 ECFirmwareMinorRelease;
  String BaseBoardManufacturer;
  String BaseBoardProduct;
  String BaseBoardVersion;
  String BIOSReleaseDate;
  String BIOSVendor;
  String BIOSVersion;
  String SystemFamily;
  String SystemManufacturer;
  String SystemProductName;
  String SystemSKU;
  String SystemVersion;
  };
  [DYNPROPS]
  Instance of SYS_BIOS
  {
  keyname="SystemCenter.fr";
  [PropertyContext("Local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\BIOS|BiosMajorRelease"),Dynamic,Provider("RegPropProv")] BiosMajorRelease;
  [PropertyContext("Local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\BIOS|BiosMinorRelease"),Dynamic,Provider("RegPropProv")] BiosMinorRelease;
  [PropertyContext("Local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\BIOS|ECFirmwareMajorRelease"),Dynamic,Provider("RegPropProv")] ECFirmwareMajorRelease;
  [PropertyContext("Local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\BIOS|ECFirmwareMinorRelease"),Dynamic,Provider("RegPropProv")] ECFirmwareMinorRelease;
  [PropertyContext("Local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\BIOS|BaseBoardManufacturer"),Dynamic,Provider("RegPropProv")] BaseBoardManufacturer;
  [PropertyContext("Local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\BIOS|BaseBoardProduct"),Dynamic,Provider("RegPropProv")] BaseBoardProduct;
  [PropertyContext("Local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\BIOS|BaseBoardVersion"),Dynamic,Provider("RegPropProv")] BaseBoardVersion;
  [PropertyContext("Local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\BIOS|BIOSReleaseDate"),Dynamic,Provider("RegPropProv")] BIOSReleaseDate;
  [PropertyContext("Local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\BIOS|BIOSVendor"),Dynamic,Provider("RegPropProv")] BIOSVendor;
  [PropertyContext("Local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\BIOS|BIOSVersion"),Dynamic,Provider("RegPropProv")] BIOSVersion;
  [PropertyContext("Local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\BIOS|SystemFamily"),Dynamic,Provider("RegPropProv")] SystemFamily;
  [PropertyContext("Local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\BIOS|SystemManufacturer"),Dynamic,Provider("RegPropProv")] SystemManufacturer;
  [PropertyContext("Local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\BIOS|SystemProductName"),Dynamic,Provider("RegPropProv")] SystemProductName;
  [PropertyContext("Local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\BIOS|SystemSKU"),Dynamic,Provider("RegPropProv")] SystemSKU;
  [PropertyContext("Local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\BIOS|SystemVersion"),Dynamic,Provider("RegPropProv")] SystemVersion;
  
  And this to SMS_Def.MOF
  #pragma namespace ("\\\\.\\root\\cimv2\\SMS")
  #pragma deleteclass("SYS_BIOS", NOFAIL)
  [SMS_Report(TRUE),SMS_Group_Name("SYS_BIOS"),SMS_Class_ID("SYS_BIOS|SYS_BIOS|1.0")]
  Class SYS_BIOS: SMS_Class_Template
  {
  [SMS_Report(TRUE),key] string KeyName;
  [SMS_Report(TRUE)] Uint32 BiosMajorRelease;
  [SMS_Report(TRUE)] Uint32 BiosMinorRelease;
  [SMS_Report(TRUE)] Uint32 ECFirmwareMajorRelease;
  [SMS_Report(TRUE)] Uint32 ECFirmwareMinorRelease;
  [SMS_Report(TRUE)] String BaseBoardManufacturer;
  [SMS_Report(TRUE)] String BaseBoardProduct;
  [SMS_Report(TRUE)] String BaseBoardVersion;
  [SMS_Report(TRUE)] String BIOSReleaseDate;
  [SMS_Report(TRUE)] String BIOSVendor;
  [SMS_Report(TRUE)] String BIOSVersion;
  [SMS_Report(TRUE)] String SystemFamily;
  [SMS_Report(TRUE)] String SystemManufacturer;
  [SMS_Report(TRUE)] String SystemProductName;
  [SMS_Report(TRUE)] String SystemSKU;
  [SMS_Report(TRUE)] String SystemVersion;
  };

  Another possibiliy, in sms_def.mof is win32_computersystemproduct, by default set to FALSE.  The human-sounding name of Lenovo models is in there.  You could edit sms_def.mof and change that class from FALSE to TRUE, and some of the attributes in there.
  
  But if there are cooler/better things in the regkeys, you can use those; or turn on both for a while, and see which ones are better for your needs.  You can always disable (change to FALSE) the one you don't feel adds value.
  
  fyi: Mark Cochrane's RegKeytoMof is the coolest thing I've seen in years; here's a blog entry of my first experience playing with it: http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/skissinger/archive/2009/04/13/mark-cochrane-s-regkeytomof.aspx
