Open-AudIT

Looks like my windows 8 machines won't pull monitor information like it does with Windows 7.

It is not in summary, hardware, monitor like a Win7 machine.

Which file is this info in and how can we get it added?

THanks

I don't have a physical Win8 machine to test against. If anyone else does, please feel free to hack the code in other\audit_windows.vbs

Ok so it looks like win8 stores the info in the same key as win7 - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\DISPLAY but for some reason isn't pulling it or maybe writing it.

Remind me where I can look for the data for this win8 machine that was pulled to see if it pulled the monitor information and just didn't write it.

[code]cscript audit_windows.vbs -submit_online=n -create_file=y[/code]
Find the <monitors> section in the "[computername]-[date].txt" file that gets created. This is what is audited and submitted.

Ok I did that and the file isn't pulling anything.

Like I said the reg key entries are the same as windows 7 so trying to figure out why it isn't pulling this info.

I can confirm

I have one all-in-one OptiPlex 9010 with Windows 8.1 Enterprise, no monitor info. I have a similar machine with Win7 Enterprise, monitor info is there.

You'll need to debug yourself or post monitor.txt and I'll try to see what the code is doing.[code]reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\DISPLAY /s > c:\monitor.txt[/code]

Here is the output pulled against that PC.

The audit code is ignoring entries without a "Control" subkey. I'm guessing as a filter for in-use monitors. From your dump it looks like this key doesn't exist in Win 8.

I don't know how to tell old monitor data from in-use monitor data which is what we want.

Which Control key?

I see it in the audit_windows.vbs file but not sure which file you mean from the registry.

On my Win7 machine audit_windows.vbs writes DEL4024 and DELA07F to the audit file but skips DEL4013 because it does not have a Control key.

My Win8.1 doesn't have the Control key either.
