Custom Inventory Rule for Logon Server
I am trying to create a custom inventory rule to list the computers logon server. I have tried several ways with no luck.
Most recent try was: ShellCommandTextReturn(cmd /c \"nltest /dsgetdc:domain.local").
Thanks,
Jay

How about a software inventory item with a custom inventory rule containing:
ShellCommandTextReturn(cmd.exe echo %logonserver%)
I haven't tried this in my environment. So this is just a quick answer that comes up.

I tried that, it runs as system so it never gets populated properly. - SMal.tmcc 10 years ago

Thanks, haven't had a chance to try yet. The way SMal.tmcc posted works occasionally. Sometimes the text file will have the domain controller in it and other times it just has %logonserver% in the file. Haven't had much time to look at it yet, but seems like the way to go for now.

not sure why that is happening to you but have done more testing and looks like you can you use wmic to get this info without creating a file. most likely will not return much if logged in locally - SMal.tmcc 10 years ago
That is a user volatile env variable so it is hard to get with a custom inventory since they run as system.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Volatile Environment]
"LOGONSERVER"="\\\\DR-ADS1"
"USERDNSDOMAIN"="TMCCADMN.TMCC.EDU"
"USERDOMAIN"="TMCCADMN"
"USERNAME"="homer"
"USERPROFILE"="C:\\Users\\homer.TMCCADMN"
"HOMEPATH"="\\Users\\homer.TMCCADMN"
"HOMEDRIVE"="C:"
"APPDATA"="C:\\Users\\homer.TMCCADMN\\AppData\\Roaming"
"LOCALAPPDATA"="C:\\Users\\homer.TMCCADMN\\AppData\\Local"
the easy way to do this would be run a daily script as the logged in user that creates a txt file and then have a custom inventory read that file. You can use the echo command since this is a varaible.
