How to write a CIR that uses REG QUERY *outside* of Wow6432Node on 64 bit Windows 7 machine?
When writing a Custom Inventory Rule, is there a way to use REG QUERY to look *outside* the Wow6432Node?
I can tell that it will fail when I test on a 64 bit machine and try running my query in the 64 bit cmd.
To be more specific, in my circumstances I particularly need to look at the ProductId value normally at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion. The Wow6432Node version does not contain this value at all...
Thank you in advance!

if that does not work modify what flip001 said to fit your reg query call and call: reg query hklm64\software\etc... - SMal.tmcc 10 years ago

the sysnative approach should work for either 32 or 64, where as using hklm64 will only work on 64bit machines - SMal.tmcc 10 years ago

Make a CIR that will work with both 32 and 64 by using OR, then create a smart label that says [your cir name] matches regex .*('ABC|123').*
RegistryValueReturn(HKLM64\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion,ProductId,TEXT) OR RegistryValueReturn(HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion,ProductId,TEXT) - flip1001 10 years ago
