I'm creating a mini mof file to query a particule set of registry keys pertaining to the builds in our environment. The data is currently stored in the location HKLM\SOFTWARE\MyCompany\Build\Config\NAMEOFBUILD\

The data stored under the NAMEOFBUILD subkey is a bunch of values pertaining to the software in that build. I'm not interested in that, only the name of the subkey 'NAMEOFBUILD'. I have the following MOF file written, but it doesn't appear to be doing anything:

//----------------------
// Build Information
//----------------------
#pragma namespace ("\\\\.\\root\\cimv2")
#pragma deleteclass ("win32Reg_Build",NOFAIL)
[ dynamic,
 provider("RegProv"),
 ClassContext("local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\MyCompany\\Build\\CONFIG")
]
class Win32Reg_Build
{
   [key]                               string    ScheduledJobs;
};
#pragma namespace ("\\\\.\\root\\cimv2\\sms")
#pragma deleteclass ("win32Reg_Build",NOFAIL)
[ SMS_Report     (TRUE),
 SMS_Group_Name ("Build Info"),
 SMS_Class_ID   ("MICROSOFT|BUILD_INFO|1.0") ]
class Win32Reg_Build : SMS_Class_Template
{
   [SMS_Report (TRUE), key ] string ScheduledJobs;
};
//----------------------
// Build Information
//----------------------

After compiling locally with mofcomp, I inspect the class and have a null value for ScheduledJobs. Am I missing something here? Or is it not possible to query on just the subkey without asking for values under it.

*looks around for SKissinger*

Not really sure what you mean by 'inspect the class'. If you mean you used wbemtest and looked at what might be stored in root\cimv2\sms\win32reg_build; yes... that'll be empty. It's just a placeholder.

Without seeing your .reg, I'd maybe change it to:

quote:

//----------------------
// Build Information
//----------------------
#pragma namespace ("\\\\.\\root\\cimv2")
#pragma deleteclass ("win32Reg_Build",NOFAIL)
[DYNPROPS]
class win32Reg_Build
{
   [key] string    KeyName;
   string   ScheduledJobs;
};
[DYNPROPS]
instance of win32Reg_Build
{
KeyName = "Build";
[PropertyContext("local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\MyCompany\\Build\\Config|ScheduledJobs"),
Dynamic,Provider("RegPropProv")] ScheduledJobs;
};
#pragma namespace ("\\\\.\\root\\cimv2\\sms")
#pragma deleteclass ("win32Reg_Build",NOFAIL)
[ SMS_Report     (TRUE),
SMS_Group_Name ("Build Info"),
SMS_Class_ID   ("MICROSOFT|BUILD_INFO|1.0") ]
class Win32Reg_Build : SMS_Class_Template
{
[SMS_Report (TRUE), key ] string KeyName;
[SMS_Report (TRUE) ] string ScheduledJobs;
};

But test test test. It's just a thought; and again I don't know what your regkey really looks like...

Thanks for the tip. I'll try it again in the morning, along with a sample regkey for clarification.

And yes, by 'inspect the class' I was using wbemtest. If that is always empty, how can I verify that everything is working and actually view the data in WMI?

Hmm... I can't think of a way to dynamically grab that data. It looks like the keynames are unique for each entry: "Lotus Sametime 6.5Fp1", etc. You'd have to code each key into your MOF, and then update your mof every time you add another one. I suspect it is way too late to change your registry branding... but the mof would need keynames that don't change, perhaps something like this; then it could be modeled after the add/remove programs snippet:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HIG\Build\CONFIG]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HIG\Build\CONFIG\XPSP2-HIG Core]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HIG\Build\CONFIG\XPSP2-HIG Core\EnCaseServLet]

"TAG"="Scheduled by on 12-04-07 @ 16:06:11"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HIG\Build\CONFIG\XPSP2-HIG Core\Altiris NS Client 6 SP3 R5]

"TAG"="Scheduled by on 12-04-07 @ 16:06:11"

So there is no way to grab just the keyname, in this example 'XPSP2-HIG Core' ? That's all I'm after.

If all you want is the name of the subkey under CONFIG, whatever that may be, yes. I'd model it after the Add/remove Programs sample, where it's pulling in the subkey name under \uninstall
