lbriggs -> MOF changes (5/5/2008 3:43:35 PM)
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.

skissinger -> RE: MOF changes (5/6/2008 8:45:27 PM)
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
