Do you have Linux or Macs in your environment? Do all 1685 PC's check in on a regular basis? - h2opolo25 9 years ago

Have all 1685 machines checked in? Custom fields will only update on client check in so if some aren't/haven't checked in, it won't update for those inventory items. - mgomez 9 years ago

I found the registry to get the version information to be quite unreliable. I used this instead, it should work on Win7 and WinXP, 32 and 64 bit. I used this very successfully when needing upgrade IE at one point.

I am not sure why are we using custom inventory field to get the IE version.
