Label based on Registry value not matching a KACE variable
We currently use LogMeIn for some remote support. The issue is when a computer gets re-named, the LMI description does not automatically update. So if my-pc-bob gets renamed to my-pc-sally, LMI still shows the old name making it difficult. I am trying to find the best way to check if a registry key matches the computer host name and if not, set it to the host name.
I was checking to see if there as a $KACE variable for the computer name, but there does not seem to be one. I don't want to generate a script that runs on all computers to keep this in sync. I would rather create a label for computers that do not match the name to the registry key and then have a script run daily against that label.

That is simple to do.
Create a custom software inventory for that key. ( I am not sure of your key name so I am craeating a fake one for this answer, you will need to use the proper key)
You need to use %computername%

One last thing. Now that I found and labeled the computers where the computer name does not match I want to set the registry value to the computer name.
I already have an Onlie Kscript to set other registry values and wanted to add this line as well, but %computername% does not work for the data (key value). It puts in the text "%computername%"
Is tried to see if there was a $KACE variable that I am supposed to use, but did not see one for computername. - JordanNolan 11 years ago
does not seem to work as a "enforce registry settings" but will work as a "launch a program"
I will see if maybe it needs some extra characters to use the name the other way (IE /%computername/% or %%computername%%)
