Scripting : Trying to pull info from a reg key using a custom inventory

Trying to pull info from a reg key using a custom inventory

I am trying to pull the value of the Manufacturer name as a custom inventory field but it is not returning anything?

If I run this locally on the machine however, I get a value returned...

reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation /V Manufacturer

RegistryValueReturn(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation,Manufacturer)

Above the custom inventory rule, did you select the operating system to ensure the version you attempting to run this rule against is included?

also, try putting , STRING after Manufacturer. so the text would look like:

RegistryValueReturn(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation,Manufacturer, STRING) - DaveMT 6 years ago
If it's a 64 bit system, be sure to use HKLM64 instead of HKLM - rswayback5 6 years ago
