Status: offline 		Hello
I'm not very proud of it but , i didn"t success to extend hardwar inventory.
I mean that i succeed to enable the default inventory classes from SMSreport from false to true, but adding a custom class doesn't matter.
My Test environnement is :
Vmware ESX Server with
Windows 2008 64 Bits  US
SCCM 2007 SP1 US
What i do is :
Add in configuration.mof the following
#pragma namespace( "\\\\.\\root\\cimv2" )
#pragma deleteclass("TOTALMASTERI", NOFAIL)
[
dynamic,
provider("RegProv"),
ClassContext ("local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\Setup")
]
class TOTALMASTERI
{
[key]
string KeyName="";
[PropertyContext ("SystemPartition")] string version;
};

Add in sms_def.mof the folliwing:


#pragma namespace( "\\\\.\\root\\cimv2\\sms" )
#pragma deleteclass("TOTALMASTERI", NOFAIL)
[   SMS_Report (TRUE),  SMS_Group_Name ("TOTAL INF"),  SMS_Class_ID ("MICROSOFT|TOTALMASTERI|1.0") ]
class TOTALMASTERI : SMS_Class_Template
{
[SMS_Report (TRUE), key] string KeyName;
[SMS_Report (TRUE)] string version;
};

Trigger hardware inventory from my client/server
See the dataldr.log working fine (adding classes)
see in wbemtest the class created but i cannot see instance (empty one)

Status: offline 		It looks like you have a mix of trying to get values from a subkey, but then also individual regkey values.  I'm guessing you are adding the specific regkey "version" yourself in your image or something?  Because I don't have that key in my lab client in that HKLM\system\setup area, or in a subkey under there.

Can I send you here, and if you have questions, just post them.  (note, the wiki's example of static keys doesn't show the [ ] around the word DYNPROPS; they are supposed to be there, like [DYNPROPS], but I'm having a problem getting them to show up right in the wiki.  So just be aware of that if you're going to copy that example)

what i try to get is the following key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\setup
   SystemPartition     REG_SZ  \Device\HarddiskVolume1

So i was thinking that this command in MOF [PropertyContext ("SystemPartition")] string version; 
mean get me the SystemPartition Property of the Key (so the key SystemPartition) and display me as version in Ressource explorer ?

If you don't have it enabled in your MOF, it's in the Win32_DiskPartition section.

Status: offline 		I have not mention the following, this is for a test, because what i try to do is to test to gather a key in a Windows embeded key.
After that if it works, i will put my key in the registry and gather them.
So if i cannot gather an already existing key provide by Windows, i will not succeed to gather my own one :-)

So on Windows 2003 R2 with SCCM 2007 SP1 , i didn't have any problem to get it, but on Windows 2008 SP1 64 bits with SCCM 2007SP1 i didn't
I know that Registry key on 64 bit system are in HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432NODE  but here i try to access one in HKLM\SYSTEM.
any idea or succeed test ?

Status: offline 		In that case, please check here, and start with "Custom Inventory, individual regkeys". (Remember about the [] around DYNPROPS not being displayed correclty.

Status: offline 		Hello
The sollution in your articles is not working in my environnment (Windows 2008 64 Bits)
But i'have found the tricky things, i would like to add to your wiki the following things:
In a 64 bits environnments, the default request must be focus in the architecture where the Key or Classes exists by adding the following syntaxe in a classes in the sms_def.mof:
For 32 bits Value to retrieve
[SMS_Report(TRUE),
SMS_Group_Name("YourGroup"),
SMS_Context_1  ("__ProviderArchitecture=32|uint32"),
SMS_Context_2  ("__RequiredArchitecture=true|boolean"),
SMS_Class_ID("MICROSOFT|YourClass|1.5")]

For 64 bits to retrieve
[SMS_Report(TRUE),
SMS_Group_Name("YourGroup"),
SMS_Context_1  ("__ProviderArchitecture=64|uint32"),
SMS_Context_2  ("__RequiredArchitecture=true|boolean"),
SMS_Class_ID("MICROSOFT|YourClass|1.5")]

In general you have to declare 2 times your classes, so they can be esxecute on 32bits and 64 bits environnments.

Thanks again for your articles they show me the path.

I have something special how to retrieve the contents of a Sub registry key when we don't know the value and contents.

Here an example:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\MYKEY

Inside this key you have multiple value string that are not known before
so what i want is the contents of MYKEY.

Status: offline 		If the values within "MYKEY" are consistently named; yes, it's possible within the MOF.  Compare against gathering the values of the Uninstall regkey.  If the values within MYKEY are randomly named, I cannot think of a MOF-only way to pull data from randomly named regkeys.  You could script something though, and redirect it to other self-created always-named-the-same regkeys, and pull it in that way.

Status: offline 		Ok thanks for your answer.

I will build a script that populate a key with my named value.

So the 64 bits system arn't so amusing with MOF.
