ShellCommandTestReturn on 64bit Machines

I have created a custom inventory rule to detect machines Bitlocker status but this only appears to work on 32bit machines, I do not see the output from any 64bit machines

ShellCommandTextReturn(C:\Windows\System32\manage-bde.exe -status) - This works on 32bit machines

I have also tried the below but this did not work on any machines

ShellCommandTextReturn(cmd /c type C:\Windows\System32\manage-bde.exe -status)

Since Kace agent is a 32 bit app, it cannot access C:\Windows\System32 directory on a 64 Bit OS directly. On 64 bit OS, OS redirects the agent process to c:\windows\SysWOW64 directory instead.

 

To access c:\windows\system32 directory in 64 bit OS, you need to use %windir%\sysnative
