Detecting Embedded Boot Works
Updated: 23 May 2010 | 1 comment
Hi,
I have a generic question, Is there a way to detect if EBW is installed? Perferrably, I am looking for a scripted method.
thanks,

In the database, or registry...
I'm not sure where, but it's got to be in the eXpress database since the console displays it on the properties page of each machine. You could do a SQL query against your DS to report on who has it & who doesn't.
Also, you can see the status in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Altiris\BootWorks Install\Status
[blank] = not installed
"Complete" = installed
"Bootworks installed successfully" = installed
"Error: ..." = problem with bootworks
I use a CustInv to get this value into the NS for reporting.
Hope that helps.
Would you like to reply?
