How can I search for a missing PATH entry using a custom inventory rule?
Hello,
I'm new to the forum, so please let me know if I miss any pertinent information.
I've isolated the registry key: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
I'm unsure what logic I can use within the k1000 custom inventory rule prompt to find these systems. If there is another post dedicated to custom inventory rules please let me know and I will post there instead (I didn't see one when I searched).

The easiest was you can do this is
ShellCommandTextReturn(set path)
Then create a report that has a filter using your cir contains ;%systemroot%\system32;
Also when I checked my machine my path is ;c:\windows\system32; not %systemroot%
If you want it to show just that entry to be the only path portion in the cir you would need to pipe this command into a for do loop to filter for that.

The shell command I have used to check for C:\windows system32 is [code] echo.%path% | findstr /i /c:"c:\windows\system32;" [/code] and outputs a 0 on find or a 1 on fail. Will the cir understand the 0/1? - Proto84 9 years ago

thanks, my bad got mixed up in my head, pipe to a findstr not a for do loop since they are only looking for a single return - SMal.tmcc 9 years ago

I tried your findstr and it returned a lot of stuff, I have some time to test now will post back a working one shortly
your findstr CIR
your findstr CIR

I think it is best just to do what I originally said and ShellCommandTextReturn(set path) and create a report with a filter that CIR is not null and CIR does not contain ;c:\windows\system32;
I came up with this and as a batch file it runs great, only returns the error level of 0 or 1
Anyway here is the cir you have in mind but since ShellCommandTextReturn records all steps of the process you are still stuck with the %path% in the cir.

echo off & echo %path% | find /i "c:\windows\system32;" & cls & echo %ERRORLEVEL%you could create a batch file attach it to the cir and then use a MI to install the batch to your machines and then call the batch file with a ShellCommandTextReturn CIR and it will give you just the 0 or 1 state. I do something like that to get a clean list of admins on my systems.

shellcommandtextreturn(cmd /q /c echo %path% | find /i "c:\windows\system32;" & cls & echo %ERRORLEVEL%)and you get this
