Last week I know this code was working. Now, it seems to have stopped. If I run it in debug mode, it displays the SELECT line, but I don't see it run anything after that. It is reading the user's group memberships because I can see them in the user's registry hive. But, it does not seem to be doing anything with this information. Please help! I have users calling left and right because this functionality is broken.

Code:

$BRIO = ReadValue ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\BRIO SOFTWARE\BRIOQRY\BRIOQRY", "MODENUMBER")

SELECT
CASE InGroup("CX_Brio Designer")
   IF $BRIO <> "XXX-XXX" 
          WriteValue ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\BRIO SOFTWARE\BRIOQRY\BRIOQRY","MODENUMBER", "XXX-XXX","REG_SZ")
            IF @ERROR = 0
               ? "The update of your registry was successful"
            ELSE
               ? " The system could not write the registry value"
         ENDIF
   ENDIF
CASE InGroup("COR_CX_Brio Designer")
   IF $BRIO <> "XXX-XXX" 
          WriteValue ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\BRIO SOFTWARE\BRIOQRY\BRIOQRY","MODENUMBER", "XXX-XXX","REG_SZ")
            IF @ERROR = 0
               ? "The update of your registry was successful"
            ELSE
               ? " The system could not write the registry value"
         ENDIF
   ENDIF
CASE InGroup("CX_Brio Explorer")
   IF $BRIO <> "XXX-XXX" 
          WriteValue ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\BRIO SOFTWARE\BRIOQRY\BRIOQRY","MODENUMBER", "2L55-8282T","REG_SZ")
            IF @ERROR = 0
               ? "The update of your registry was successful"
            ELSE
               ? " The system could not write the registry value"
         ENDIF
   ENDIF
CASE InGroup("COR_CX_Brio Explorer")
   IF $BRIO <> "XXX-XXX" 
          WriteValue ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\BRIO SOFTWARE\BRIOQRY\BRIOQRY","MODENUMBER", "XXX-XXX","REG_SZ")
            IF @ERROR = 0
               ? "The update of your registry was successful"
            ELSE
               ? " The system could not write the registry value"
         ENDIF
   ENDIF
ENDSELECT

You can simplify your code quite a bit..

NOTE: The addition of @ERROR and @SERROR
Code:

$REG="HKCU\SOFTWARE\BRIO SOFTWARE\BRIOQRY\BRIOQRY"

$BRIO=ReadValue($REG,"MODENUMBER")

IF InGroup("CX_Brio Designer","COR_CX_Brio Designer","CX_Brio Explorer","COR_CX_Brio Explorer")

   IF $BRIO <> "XXX-XXX" 

          $RC=WriteValue ($REG,"MODENUMBER", "XXX-XXX","REG_SZ")

            IF @ERROR = 0

               ? "The update of your registry was successful"

            ELSE

               ? " The system could not write the registry value"

               @ERROR+" "+@SERROR

               SLEEP 3

         ENDIF

   ENDIF

ENDIF


HTH,

Kent

Things you may need..

Flush your token cache for group detection..

In your INGROUP checking, you may need to precede the group with a domain name -
Code:

IF InGroup("DOMAINA\CX_Brio Designer","DOMAINB\COR_CX_Brio Designer","DOMAINB\CX_Brio Explorer","DOMAINB\COR_CX_Brio Explorer")
; ... other code....

Thank you for the response. Actually, I cannot combine those. It uses different mode numbers depending upon a user's group membership. I just blanked them out with XXX-XXX.

I did try preceding the groups with domain names, but still no luck. It's not entering the registry key/value.

eh.
reading your first post, sounds like there indeed is something wrong with the groups.

you don't have "case 1" there, so you should add it for testing.
simple:
case 1
? "not in any of these groups" ?

would do wonders in tracking the problem.

Did you try to add in the @ERROR+' '@SERROR code?

That will tell you why this does not WRITEVALUE.

My guess is a stray quote " got in your script and it is now wonked. Run it through KiXstrip and see what shakes out.

Kixstrip doesn't show any errors.

The @ERROR+' '@SERROR code doesn't show anything.

The case 1 entry appears to be showing that the userid isn't a member of any of the groups mentioned. But, the userid is a member of one of the groups. If I look in the token cache, that group is listed.

Are you sure this is the right Reg Key to modify?

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\BRIO SOFTWARE\BRIOQRY\BRIOQRY

Maybe try using the RegSnap tool from the Registry Tools FAQ here? Then apply the changes using the before and after snapshots to see what is really going on.

don't go there.
we first need to verify that the code PASSES the INGROUP.
if it does not go into the case, how in the jurassic park's name it would do anything?

Add a little debug code if you drop into the "default" case.

Use EnumGroup() to enumerate group memberships and dump the information somewhere - it might expose the problem. The example in the manual will get you most of the way there.

The script appears to be working again. Although, I'm not certain why it's working. I changed the group names to all lower case (even though it worked before and the case I was using matched the domain groups).

Did you change the version of KiXtart you were using when the problem started? If so, what versions were involved.

I didn't change the version of kixtart at all. Version 412 is installed. I should probably think about changing to 422, but I haven't done so yet.
