Where to store custom fields with information about the computer in the registry for further remote auditing?

I want to organize "labels" for computers in an organization with a domain network by reading a key in the registry. I suppose there is some standard key with a comment, or something else similar, so as not to create separate keys at all. Next, I will massively go through the scanner and read the string from the key.

Answer the question

In order to leave comments, you need to log in

If we are talking about inventory:
Why this solution is no good compared to QR codes on the side of system engineers:
1) The computer may be turned off or broken at the time of the check. The inventory checks the fact of the availability of equipment, and not its serviceability
2) In the process of maintenance, the hardware can move to another building. A special procedure is needed to rewrite the tag.
3) What should be done with everything that is not a system unit during inventory - printers, monitors, UPS? Should I have a separate account for them?
If we are talking about identifying machines on the network:
In AD, machines already have such an identifier - this is a banal computer NAME.

There's no such thing.
Create your own section in HKLM/Software/<organization name>/ and then break into subsections to your heart's content. You can do the same, but in the HKCU branch of a specific user, it suits you best and depends on how you collect this information later.
In general, it would be possible to put it somewhere in c:\ProgramData and not bother with the registry.

The essence of the question is not clear.
You ask where to store information, and immediately answer what you need to store in the registry.
What's the question?

I guess there is some standard key with comment
What is a standard key?
The registry is a database. Create an entry, set its type, and write values ​​to it.
