Get-Content $file |select -Skip 1| Set-Content "$file-temp"
move "$file-temp" $file -Force

Then create a custom inventory rule to read the file c:\temp\keys.txt.

ShellCommandTextReturn(cmd.exe /c type c:\temp\keys.txt)

You should then be able to run a report based on the custom inventory.

I'm using ProduKey to retrieve Windows, Office and related keys.  The potential list is fairly extensive and it's nice because it puts the info right into the Custom Fields section of the machine's inventory.  Mark O'Malley showed me this during my initial training.

Just one thing to be aware of is that Windows Defender (in Win7) may pick this up as a keylogger, but not an issue once it's allowed.
