Powershell Script Creating Registry Detection Method in DeploymentType

Question

So I have Script to Create an Application in SCCM and a Script to Create the DeploymentType. in the DeploymentType, I am Creating a Detection Method that uses the Registry.

$clause1 = New-CMDetectionClauseRegistryKeyValue -Hive LocalMachine -KeyName "SOFTWARE\Folder1\Folrder2\$DepName" -ValueName "some_Value" -PropertyType String -ExpressionOperator IsEquals -ExpectedValue $DepNummer -Value

    Add-CMScriptDeploymentType -ApplicationName $DepName -DeploymentTypeName $DepTypeName -ContentLocation $DepContent -InstallCommand $DepInst -UninstallCommand $DepUninst -AddDetectionClause $Clause1 -EstimatedRuntimeMins $DepMaxRun -MaximumRuntimeMins $DepMinRun -LogonRequirementType WhetherOrNotUserLoggedOn -UserInteractionMode Hidden -InstallationBehaviorType InstallForSystem -AddRequirement $oDTRule

The Script works so far but I have one small issue. if you look at a Detection Method by Registry there is the Checkbox

“This registry key is associated with a 32-bit application on 64-bit systems” I know for what it is but I just can't figure out what I have to do to Create the DM without this box being checked.

I pulled the info about the DeploymenType with Get-CMDeploymentType. I found the parts für the DM but no hint about this Checkbox.

    </Rule>
</EnhancedDetectionMethod>

has anyone an idea.

thx in advanced

Answer 1

so never asume anything.

as i said and you can see above i pulled the info via get-CMDeploymentType and looked at it once with Checkbox checked and once when i manualy set it unchecked.

But something trolled me.

<RegistryDiscoverySource Hive=\"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\" Depth=\"Base\" Is64Bit=\"true\" CreateMissingPath=\"true\">

The Magic is in the Is64Bit="\true\" part

i am sure that after changing it manualy in SCCM this was still true so i did not look into the switch -is64Bit

Well someone on the TechNet Forum said i should look into it again and i did. i put it into the script and oh wonder it works.

New-CMDetectionClauseRegistryKeyValue -Hive LocalMachine -KeyName "SOFTWARE\Folder1\Folrder2\$DepName" -Is64Bit -ValueName "some_Value" -PropertyType String -ExpressionOperator IsEquals -ExpectedValue $DepNummer -Value

This is the Version so the Checkbox is not checked.
