SCCM 2007- Adding registry key to hardware inventory, only shows the Key Name, won't show value???

Answered SCCM 2007- Adding registry key to hardware inventory, only shows the Key Name, won't show value???

    I'm using SCCM 2007 SP2 R2.  On one of my Windows 7 clients I have added the following REG_DWORD registry entry to identify the build number:

    HKLM\Software\XPVersion\Build\Build Number

    Build Number has a Hex value of 1  (0x00000001)

    I have modified my Configuration.mof and SMS_DEF.mof to collect the key with hardware inventory.  I used the Regkey to Mof tool and made a few changes.  Here are the entries I added to the two .MOF files:

    SMS_DEF.MOF- added the following to the bottom of the file:

    #pragma namespace ("\\\\.\\root\\cimv2\\SMS")
    #pragma deleteclass("XPbuild", NOFAIL)
    [SMS_Report(TRUE),SMS_Group_Name("XPbuild"),SMS_Class_ID("XPBuild|XPbuild|1.0")]
    Class XPbuild: SMS_Class_Template
    {
    [SMS_Report(TRUE),key] string KeyName;
    [SMS_Report(TRUE)] Uint32 BuildNumber;
    };

    CONFIGURATION.MOF- added the following to the bottom of the file:

    #pragma namespace ("\\\\.\\root\\cimv2")
    #pragma deleteclass("XPbuild", NOFAIL)
    [DYNPROPS]
    Class XPbuild
    {
    [key] string KeyName;
    Uint32 BuildNumber;
    };
    [DYNPROPS]
    Instance of XPbuild
    {
    keyname="XPbuild";
    [PropertyContext("Local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\XPVersion\\Build|Build Number"),Dynamic,Provider("RegPropProv")] BuildNumber;
    };

    Both files compile with no errors.  There are no errors in dataldr.log when I replace the files in clifiles.src\hinv.  If I look in WMI on the client I can see the two properties, Keyname=XPbuild and BuildNumber=1.  Furthermore, the client's inventoryagent.log file says,

    "Collection: Namespace = \\.\root\cimv2;Query = SELECT __CLASS, __PATH, __RELPATH, BuildNumber, Keyname FROM XPbuild; Timeout=600 secs.

    There's no indication of an error that I can find.

    However, when I look in resource explorer for the client the only property I see is the Key Name XPbuild, it does not report Build Number.

    Can anybody tell me what I'm missing?  I need to report the Build Number with my hardware inventory?

    Thanks,

    Jan

    Thanks for the links, I have read through the post and gone through some of Sherry's snippets to compare them to what I have.  As far as I can tell my syntax is correct in the two MOF files.  Is there any way for me to narrow-down the problem?

    Have you already queried the SQL database? The view should be named v_GS_XPbuild0. Does the buildnumber show up there?

    Hi Torsten,

    No, the buildnumber doesn't show up there, only the Keyname.  So it looks like something is preventing buildnumber from being written to the table?  Is there a tweak I need to make in SQL?

    No, there's no tweak you need to make to SQL.

    Personally, I'd scrap what you have, and use RegKeytoMof to build my snippets for me.  I don't think you used regkeytomof, or if you did, you used a really, really old version.

    Thanks Sherry,

    I used RegKeytoMof but it is probably an old version like you said.  I'm going to download the new version and start from scratch tonight.  I'll post back here with results.

    Sherry, you called it!  I used the new version of regkeytomof.  The version I used previously didn't include the x64 checkbox, so it was definitely old. 

    Thanks for posting all that info in the MyITForum blog & wicki from your link!!!!!

    I tried it twice, first time it didn't work and the second time it did (the first time the client's inventoryagent.log never included my change, maybe bad client or ??).

    Thanks for your help,

    Jan
