Dell Client Configuration Toolkit Question - Smart Label?
-
Do you have the CCTK installed on all of the computers? If so then you can query the BIOS for a setting using the cctk.exe command. If there's a setting you know you are changing with your package you could query for that setting with a custom inventory rule. - chucksteel 10 years ago

Hi Jason - I recently started using Custom Inventory Rules to collect this type of information on the K1000. It's useful for capturing the contents of a file for viewing within the K1000.
When you run the CCTK executable on your client, it creates a text file in the location where it was run. It has the same name as the executable with a txt extension. If you can locate this on one of your computers, you can build a custom inventory rule to load it into the K1000.
You create a Software Inventory item with a useful name like "CCTK Results." In the field called "Custom Inventory Rule" you enter a command such as
ShellCommandTextReturn(cmd /c type C:\path\CCTK.txt)
...replacing the path with the location of your results file.
Once inventory is run, you'll see the contents of that file on the computer's inventory page under Custom Inventory Fields. Hope this helps!
edit: You can also label the computer based on the existence of the customer software inventory item
