Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Hi all, and then came the time when i was strucked by inventory needs .... Here is one for the pro's : need to evaluate (amongst others) the type of Backup device which is located in \\[Server]\HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SCSI\???(SCSI Port n)\???(SCSI Bus n)\???(Target ID n)\???(Logical Unit ID n)\Identifier A search Criteria is where DeviceName = Tape0 , Identifier equals the Tape Device type ... Tried kinda recursive enumkey() with 4d arrays and 4 single dimension arrays ... no luck by now If anyone wants to help or has a better way of getting this Info ... it would be highly appreciated J. _________________________

Jpols, I know you want to do everything the hardway, but if I understood, all you need to do is search the registry subtree \\[Server_name_or_ip]\HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SCSI with enumkey it is searchable, but where do you need this array? _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Sure Alex , The complete path is (depends on Hardware setup) stated above and ends with Valuename 'Identifier' which contains fe. "Quantum DLT etc." Lonkero, The problem is that it is for sure different on 245 Servers (The Keys can be different are the ones with Question marks above ) ! Thanks for even look at it Jochen [ 09 January 2002: Message edited by: jpols ] _________________________

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	OUCH, Lonkero , you were right: simply 'enumkey' is in the mean time replaced by 'regfind.exe' (NT Server ResKit !) Someday I have to start thinking more about doin' it the easy way , i'm such a DOH-head ! J. _________________________

jpols,
still can't get the reason for array.
Would be helpfull to see your script part.
Anyway, why don't you do something like (not really tested, just pulling out from my head):

code:


$i=0
$portkey = enumkey("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SCSI",$i)
while len($portkey)
 $i2=0
 $buskey = enumkey("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SCSI\$portkey",$i2)
 while len($buskey)
  $i3=0
  $targetkey = enumkey("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SCSI\$portkey\$buskey",$i3)
  while len($targetkey)
   $i4=0
   $unitkey = enumkey("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SCSI\$portkey\$buskey\$targetkey",$i4)
   while len($unitkey)
    $value = readvalue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SCSI\$portkey\$buskey\$targetkey\$unitkey","DeviceName")
    if len("$value") $value ? endif
    $i4 = $i4+1
    $unitkey = enumkey("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SCSI\$portkey\$buskey\$targetkey",$i4)
   loop
   $i3=$i3+1
   $targetkey = enumkey("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SCSI\$portkey\$buskey",$i3)
  loop
  $i2=$i2+1
  $buskey = enumkey("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SCSI\$portkey",$i2)
 loop
 $i=$i+1
 $portkey = enumkey("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SCSI",$i)
loop

or have I misunderstood your question?

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Hey Lonkero, that does the trick (at least it displayed all Identifier strings on my Box ) Will adapt for my needs and see which way is faster ... regfind or yours (No, I won't build a public udf around this ! ) cheers ! John, I know how this feels ! [ 09 January 2002: Message edited by: jpols ] _________________________

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	jpols, how you check which is faster? ain't kix-solution allways the better one? hmm... haven't actually used regfind... can you specify subkeys to search in or just the main keys? if it scans the whole HKLM-key it should be slower. and if it is, I might write a udf around this. _________________________ ! download KiXnet
