I finally ran across Lode Vanstechelman's blog entry that told exactly what to look for. The only thing it does not address is using SCCM to find vulnerable systems. Since you are looking for specific TPM manufacturer IDs and Versions, SCCM is a great tool to find the systems across a large network.

Customers expect rapid value from your product (time-to-value), data security, and access to advanced capabilities. Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) tools can provide valuable data analysis capabilities, but they have a barrier to entry that can stop small and midsize businesses from capitalizing on them.
