Capture file size in Kace WMI Bloat issues.

I would like to use Kace to capture the size of this file located in C:\windows\system32\wbem\repository\object.data

I have a Custom Inventory Rule below.

FileInfoReturn(C:\Windows\System32\wbem\Repository, Objects.Data, Number) , but it does not capture the data i hoping for.  

This file after imaging is around 50MB.  Anything over 200MB is usually suspect and if over 500MB boot time is often slow. Is this the correct command to capture the size of this file in Kace?

Thanks in Advance.

If you come to the Dell World Kace conference this fall in Austin you owe me a beer for this one.

shellcommandtextreturn(@echo off & FOR /f "tokens=2 delims==" %g IN ('c:\windows\system32\wbem\WMIC.exe datafile where "name='C:\\windows\\system32\\wbem\\repository\\objects.data'" get filesize /value') DO @echo %g)

  • You are too awesome! Im not sure if i will be able to go to Dell World, but if you are ever in Seattle, let me know. Thanks a bunch. This is going to be very helpful for my team to gauge the health of our computers. - ctrakarn 9 years ago

that will never work. if you open the help menu you see that is not a supported attribute in windows.  Look at the argument notes for attributes that work

here is an example of how fileinforeturn would be written
FileInfoReturn(C:\windows\system32\wbem\repository\objects.data, createddate, date)

Is there anyway to report only the value and remove the first line called FileSize?

  • yes it will take me a few to get that code, will post that when i have it worked out it involves creating a for loop. (for /f "tokens=* skip=1) - SMal.tmcc 9 years ago
