Custom inventory field does not populate
Hi,
I am struggling with a problem. I want to find out which Dell command update on the network has the BIOS password set in it, for which there is a flag in Windows registry.
All great, i created a custom software and wrote this as a rule:Â Â RegistryKeyExists (HKLM\Software\Dell\UpdateService\Clients\CommandUpdate\Preferences\Settings\General\BIOSPassword)
But the problem is that it's either not running or it is but it's not working, because after 8h, i still see zero devices found

What version of the SMA?
What version of the Agent is installed?
What is the Windows OS?

Here is an example of code for a 64-bit reg key. As the agent is a 32-bit process it will otherwise run in 32-bit context (wow6432node/syswow64) you have to do similar workarounds for bat or PowerShell.

I tried that too and it return a missing key error. A different solution must exist. - Empousa 3 years ago

I found this script a while back at https://argentolee.wordpress.com/2017/12/29/kace-dell-bios-admin-password-status-custom-inventory-field/ . It's in custom inventory . I get a report of true or false. Hopefully that's what you're looking for.
