Custom Inventory Rule using a Windows System Command

I am trying to create custom inventory rule using ShellCommandTextReturn running the command Query user.  I cannot get it to run no matter now I try.  What I am trying to accomplish is identify the following:

 Is anyone logged in?

Who is logged in?

Are multiple people logged in?  If so, Who?


Thanks!

can you please show what you are trying?

The best way to run a Windows Command in a CIR is using the cmd interpreter:
(like ShellCommandTextReturn(cmd /c net user) ) so the comman you are trying to run is running in the right environment.
(cmd /c simply does not show the command window)

  • Thank you, this shows me the local user accounts created on the machine, but not what users are currently logged in. - amwoods 5 years ago

you need ShellCommandTextReturn(cmd /c Query user)

  • Exactly! But it doesn't run when machines check in. It runs fine manually from command line. - amwoods 5 years ago
    • it is a sysnative problem you are running into. query.exe does not exist in the 32bit system directory "syswow64" so the 32 bit kace client cannot find the file to run. - SMal.tmcc 5 years ago
