of
registry

as
time

A:

T:
0.139 ms

I am getting below error while performing this action :

q:now -(value whose(name of it is “ServerTime”) ofkey “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BigFix\Brand” ofregistry)

E:The operator “minus” is not defined.

Can someone please let me know what can be the possible solution for this. My aim is to subtract the current date&time of any endpoint reporting to TEM server from current time of TEM server and then get the difference converted into days.

Please sussgest.

You need to convert the string value to a time value in order to subract.

now

(value

whose
(name

of

it

is

“ServerTime”
)

of

key

“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BigFix\Brand”

of

registry

as

time)
