Dynamic collection for specific registry key value?

I wanted to create a collection showing all computers with UAC disabled. When I created the collection, I was a little confused on how to do this. I essentially wanted to see if EnableLUA = 0. I ended up created a collection with two filters: one for the Value Name and one for the Value. I'm getting the results I need so I'm assuming it's working correctly. It just seemed a little odd the way I had to implement this. Maybe I'm doing it wrong... I've attached a screenshot. I'm using PDQ Inventory 3.0 (release 3) in Pro Mode.

That looks OK. There is a possibility that the EnableLUA value would be missing. If it is missing then UAC is not enabled (basically missing and 0 are the same).

Here is another forum post that described tracking UAC and Non UAC enabled systems.
