Re: root\CIMV2\Win32_Processor

You should be able to look for 32/64 bits and AMD or Intel in the
"Manufacturer" string. User accounts can probably not read the processor
info. Look in AD. You will see computer info in the computer object that
shows OS. The OS should give you the info. AD collects much of this
information. There are three operatingsystems settings that might be
useful.

I would run a script on the domain that can discover the processor type and
encode it into the description field in ad. Anyone can read this field. A
script running under the user account could retrieve this and be pointed at
the right version of the software.

I encode numerous useful bits in the description field such as [Bob
Jones][Ext:123][4FL-Right][AM64]
