Jim,
AutoIt also has a nice OSArch macro for this.
$64bit = "You are running a 64 bit version of Windows Vista."
$OSArch = @OSArch
If $OSArch == "X64" Then
MsgBox(262192,"64 bit OS Detected", $64bit)
EndIf

We’ve had the same issue here and have also seen a huge uptick in
the numbers of 64-bit machines. One of our network engineers wrote
the following AutoIT code to which checks the OS version, then
downloads the appropriate executable. We call is CheckOS and has
worked very well for us. Only caveat is that we are no longer a
Cisco customer so this has not been tested with NAC specifically,
but I don’t see any reason it wouldn’t work for you folks as well.

Hope that helps

Subject: Distributing 32 or 64 bit AV software
We recently migrated from Symantec Corporate 10 to Symantec Endpoint
Protection and I’ve noticed that the deployment method to students
is much different in the new version.
I’m curious as to how other schools are pushing their preferred/
required anti-virus software to students as I notice that I can’t
make distinguished rules for 32 bit or 64 bit operating systems. It
seems Cisco NAC combines them so when I try to create a link
distribution requirement I can’t choose 32 or 64 bit. Am I missing
something??
If I’m not, I’m wondering if the best option is to create a link
distribution requirement that points them to a page that has links
to both 32 and 64 bit versions and having the user select which one
they need…It’s not foolproof as I’m sure some students won’t know
what they have but I’m just curious as to the best route for this…
Thanks
