File Search
I am trying to do an inventory of the tnsnames.ora file on all PC's in our environment, including the file path. Right now, I'm trying this using a custom inventory rule:
FilenamesMatchingRegexReturn(C:\, ora$, TEXT)
So far, this is returning hits on machines that have this file. However, I expected this custom inventory rule to return the file path as well, and it's not. How can I get the file path?

WkuCardinal,
If nothing is returned that means the inventory rule could not find a match.
However regardless of a match the custom inventory rule will be displayed under installed software because it was executed against the machine.
Is the file you are looking for in the root of the C drive?
The custom inventory rule will not perform a recursive search through the sub folders.
Below is a quick example of a similar rule that is returning the path.

The file is located in different installation directories. That's the point of trying to use the KBOX to find the files - I'm not sure where they are all located. I tried using a script, also, which is helpful, but I am having trouble getting reporting out of the log file generated from scripts.

hmm.... this is how i would do it.
Try creating a vbsrcipt that recursively searches the file system.
When the file is found have it update a registry key (created by you).
Then its simply a matter of pointing to that registry key in your custom inventory rule.
