Scripting

How do you verify the value of the key ? The content of this key is in hex maybe here is the problem. - gwir 8 years ago

I'm using the verification step to verify a registry value; if I specify an action to verify the value equals a comparison value, then it will pass the test. I'm guessing because the value is being interpreted as a string that somehow the comparison isn't being done as a numerical check? - JLankford 8 years ago

Normally I would have included code with my initial posting, but since I'm doing this entirely in the KACE web interface, I'm not really writing code; is there a way I can export the actual script from KACE?

Under the Tasks section, Task 1, under the Verify action, I 'Add' a step to 'Verify a registry value is less than...', and then provide the values - basically filling in the blanks - with the info from my original post:

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full

Name: Release

Value: 379893

On machines where the Value is less than what I'm checking for (379893), it continually fails - even if I modify the registry setting on the target computer to be significantly lower than the value I'm comparing against.

However, if I change the step to 'Verify a registry value is exactly...', and then run it again a machine it will evaluate correctly - meaning if the target machine's value is 379893, the step will pass; otherwise it will fail, as it should.

Does this help explain? - JLankford 8 years ago
