Hi All, I would like to create a collection on base of Windows 7 machines registry value. Suppose I am Querying for all Windows 7 machines where in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Imaging Component" registry key , value of "InstalledVersion" should be 3.0.0.0. I am having a Collection where all Windows 7 machines are there.Name of the collection is "All Windows 7 Systems" How can we do this.Is there any query for this and where do I need to run the query for this. Can I get the query for this or any step by step link where I can follow the same and perform it.Thanks & Regards Deepak Kumar

Hi, first you need to modify the sms_def.mof and configuration.mof to include the regsitry value as part of your inventory process. After that creating a collection is straight forward.

Hi, To start with you would have to extend the inventory to include the registry key that you wan't to query, have a look in this guide. http://scug.be/blogs/sccm/archive/2008/08/29/sccm-customizing-the-hardware-inventory-to-report-a-custom-registry-file.aspx After that it is rellay simple to write a query to include all computers with the correct value in the registry key.
