You should be able to look for 32/64 bits and AMD or Intel in 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]



You can modify the AD schema to provide explicit support for all 4 of
those pieces of information, just as you can modify a database schema
right?

Hi,

Yes, that is correct, more here:

In case anyone is interested, we wrote a short paper on Active
Directory attributes and their security.  The paper shows how to create
a new Active Directory attribute, add it to an existing container (user
class), and configure its security using Active Directory control
access rights.

To perform each of the steps, the paper employs four different
techniques: administration via the GUI, administration via the command
line, scripting using the COM ADSI interfaces in VBScript, and
programming using the DirectoryServices library in Visual Basic .NET.
