Custom Inventory Rule - REG_DWORD value?
Is KACE able to determine if a REG_DWORD values exists on a client using Custom Inventory Rule? I need to find this value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Disk]"TimeoutValue"=dword:000000be
RegistryValueEquals(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Disk,TimeOutValue,000000be)

Turns out there is a bug in the 5.3 agent that causes this rule not to work properly with Server 2008. This will work, although it will only return a hex value, not a decimal. Be mindful of any spaces that might be introduced at the end when copied. shellcommandtextreturn(cmd.exe /C @echo off && FOR /F \"usebackq skip=2 tokens=1,2,3\" %G IN (`reg.exe query \"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Disk\" /v TimeOutValue`) DO echo %I && rem word)

That is how I thought is should be, but that doesn't work. I keep inventorying a server that I pulled this value from, but the Custom Inventory doesn't show up. I have the correct OS's selected as well. Does anyone know if there is an issue with REG_DWORD values?
Thanks,

What versions of Kace server and agents do you have?

Can you try the rule RegistryValueReturn(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Disk, TimeOutValue, NUMBER)
so that we can know what is being returned if any. - AbhayR 12 years ago-

Do you have servers checking in? I can get XP/7, but not 2008. - jknox 12 years ago

Do not have the client on any server, the server crew does not go for that. Are there any logs they can look at to see what is not working. found nothing on target machines was wondering about the k1000 logs? - SMal.tmcc 12 years ago

I installed it on a couple of server 2008 R2 vms and the rule doesn't work. Checking some things. - jknox 12 years ago
Here is an article that I created using custom inventory rules to search and inventory what version of IE is installed. Maybe you can find it helpful!
