NCPA-Windows-PowerShell different registry paths same output

Post by jans1612 »

Hey guys,

I will describe my problem in the following.
First, we use NCPA as an Inventory tool.
We have PowerShell scripts which collects informations about our servers and send it to a collector, where everything will be pushed to a database.
This Information can be visited afterwards on a Website.

Now to my problem. I wrote a PS-script which collects all installed software on a Windows server.
Therefore, the script reads two registry keys for 32- and 64-Bit Software.

PowerShell script:

Code: Select all

Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*", "HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*" | Select-Object ("DisplayName") | Where-Object DisplayName -ne $null
Output PowerShell:

Code: Select all

The NCPA output prints two times the same output from different registry paths also if I separate the query in two scripts and execute it after another I got the same output.
