The structure looks good, but I would much rather prefer WMI than the registry, if that is possible. Easier to import, and cleaner to manage, especially with ConfigMgr. Maybe something like root\cimv2\2Pint with an instance for each BITS job?

This is for all the other traffic like Adobe, Chrome etc. You will be amazed to see how much stuff is using BITS. And we need some input on how to provide the info the best way for ConfigMgr. This will be part of the OSD BranchCache kit for free, but to get to the point. We want to write this data to the registry and allow for admins to collect if they want to. But since we don't know what the reg keys are goint to be called, it's hard to get with a .mof right? As I understand it, that requires known keys and values? If we report on an ID of 0-999 and name the reg key values like HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\2Pint Software\BCReporter\ReportData\0 where 0 is the actual value name for the first "type" of job and then 999 would be the last. Obviously we don't want to fill up the DB with lots of empty data fields, so does ConfigMgr generate the tables on .mof creation or when inventory comes back? Or should I structure it in some other way?
