Hello.
Would it be possible to add the build date/time of the full exe installer to a registry key that then gets added when a device uses that full exe installer?
It can be very difficult to verify if a device is running a specific version/build of the LANDesk agent. E.g. if you install a patch on the CORE and rebuilds the full exe installers, then you need to query for specific versions of specific files to verify if a device is updated.
It seems to me that having a build date/time value would be an easy thing to query for. Though, you would of course need a separate document to keep track of what's included in the agent with this specific build date, but to me that still seems better than having to check for multiple different file versions and revisions of various settings. We do already include a simple version no. in the agent config name, but one could always argue when and how this should get updated.
To accomplish this, I'm thinking about adding a line to the NTSTACFG.in# file like the one below:
[Common Pre Copy]
REG05=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE\LANDesk\ManagementSuite\WinClient\InstallerBuildDate, %DATE% %TIME%, , REG_SZ
Would that work or are there better methods for achieving the same thing?
We are using LDMS 9.0 SP3.
Thanks in advance.
