Software-Custom Inventory Rule - another registry question
I've created a Softare item with the following registry custom inventory rule:
RegistryKeyExists(HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\test)
Note the last one - "test" is just a replacement for posting, and is actually something else.
This key does exist on machines - mine for instance and is in my HKCU section of the registry. Its been 3 days now and not showing up in Kace as Devices Detected says 0 out of xxx number of devices.
What am I missing?
-------Update------
I guess I was under the impression that by making the CIR in Software that it would automatically show which machines the registry key exits under devices detected.
Note from above - I have changed CIR to look for:
RegistryKeyExists(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\test1
Which after a few days, still shows as 0 Devices under the Software Detail - Devices Detected section.
I have made a Smart Device Label with the criteria - Software name = (Software CIR) I created.
Not even sure if the label is right or if I even need one yet as no devices are showing up in the Software Detail of the CIR anyway.....

if you have a mix of 32 and 64 let me know you can do this differently.
Agent Invenory - 4 hrs
Agentless Inventory - 1 day
Catalog Inventory - 12 hrs (This one is for the software inventory, correct?
Metering - 1 day
Scripting update - 12 hrs
Thank you. I am just trying to read the key. I believe what SMal mentioned that it will not see HKCU sounds very relevant, so I have changed the key location on my test machine to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\test1
Also made the change in Kace to:
RegistryKeyExists(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\test1
I will see if my machine will show up as the Software item with the custom rule and let you know how I make out.
