Trouble detecting breadcrumb registry key for imaging

I'm trying to set up breadcrumbs, as shown in the Kontinuing Education videos (https://kace.webex.com/kace/lsr.php?AT=pb&SP=TC&rID=62320672&act=pb&rKey=abe79192e76cfdd3), for automatically kicking off managed installations from the k1000 on a newly imaged (from a scripted installation) machine.  I’ve got the custom inventory rule, smart label etc..  The registry key is created by a post install task and the computer shows up in inventory right away, but it never detects the registry key.  Settings are as follows:

Target machine OS is Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1, and that is a selected OS for the custom software item.

Custom Inventory rule:

RegistryValueEquals(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\COM, Standard, 1) OR
RegistryValueEquals(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE64\SOFTWARE\COM, Standard, 1)

I've read somewhere on ITninja that to connect to a 64-bit registry hive you must have HKLM64

Postinstallation Task:

 REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\COM" /V Standard /t REG_SZ /d 1

I've exported the registry key that the Postinstallation Task creates:

 Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\COM]
"Standard"="1"

 I've put this key on a couple computers and forced inventory on all of them just to check, and none of them show up.

Answer Summary:
Created two separate softwares. One for 64-bit and one for 32, and separated accordingly. I believe spaces after each statement were an issue as well. RegistryValueEquals(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\COM,Standard,1) RegistryValueEquals(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE64\SOFTWARE\COM,Standard,1)

Try taking out the OR x64 line. See if it will work on just your x86 machines first. Then add in the x64.

  • Excellent call. It does pick up 32-bit machines, thanks for your help. I created a new 64-bit one and just put the hklm64 bit query for it and it worked as well.. - mcudmore 11 years ago

    RegistryValueEquals(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\COM,Standard,1) OR

  • Make sure the Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1 selection is highlighted as a supported operating system. Under the computer make sure the OS name and service pack are correct. - SMal.tmcc 11 years ago
    • Yes, I have made sure of that - mcudmore 11 years ago
