Kace K1000 - FileNotExists or equivalent argument for Custom Inventory Rules (CIR)
Hi there!
I'm having an issue figuring out how to configure my CIR in K1000, because I need to use something that does not exists, mainly File(or Folder)NotExists, in conjuncture with FileExists.
Here's the situation: In our agency, we can have either Acrobat DC Pro as a standalone software, or installed as part of a package that contains other software (like InDesign). All of my packages contain InDesign, so I wanted to use this as a basis, to create a CIR that looked something like this:
FileExists(C:\ProgramData\regit.1986-12.com.adobe\regid.1986-12.com.adobe_V7{}CreativeCloudEnt-1.0-Win-GM-MUL) AND
FileNotExists(C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CC2015\InDesign.exe)
FileNotExists(C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CC2015\InDesign.exe)
This way, I could have a fixed inventory of everyone who has only Acrobat DC Pro standalone, VS everyone who has any package containing Acrobat DC Pro. This would also serve as CIR so that the Standalone installation doesn't install over whatever package installation, and possibly ruin the serialization of the package.
The issue I have is that well...negative conditional rules do not exist, only positive rules.
Is there a way I could be able to get this to work through CIR ?
Thanks in advance :)

If you read my post, I'm asking what can I do that would do something similar as "FileNotExists" would do IF it existed. - AlexPilon 7 years ago
