Attributes in Custom Data Classes and Custom Inventory
Created: 06 Jan 2013 | 3 comments
I have a question regarding Attributes in Custom Data Classes and Custom Inventory. I need to create a Custom Inventory that will perform a recursive search under HKLM\Software\Test hive and grab all the information below it.
I can create a VBScript to grab it, but how do I setup the Attributes in the Custom Data Class when there is a chance some computers might have 10 Keys or more under HKLM\Software\Test and under each Key there might be different number of Strings? I use Custom Inventory today but I have never performed a recursive search and written to the database.

You need to set each attribute as Key that will come up with an uniqe (inventory) row.
If you have Attributes as; RegKey, RegEntry, RegValue then RegKey, RegEntry will be Key and RegValue not so it gets updated during next inventory when the value changes.
Thank you for the suggestion. I'm very new to SMP 7.1 and I was wondering if you can please look at the screenshot at show me how I would setup the Attributes? It would be greatly appreciated it. Thank you again.
I would setup the Attributes as follow:
RegKey: Key, Required
RegEntry: Key, Required
RegValue: (NOT Key, NOT Required)
Don't forget to set the Length of RegValue to fit the lengthy values.
Example of an inventory would be:
RegKey: HKLM\Software\Test
RegEntry: Environment
RegValue: Production
Also have in mind to take care of the "default" entry (name) as it's "blank".
Would you like to reply?
