I'm trying to write a simple script that changes a registry on all my servers. It reports back that this registry entry is 1 when it is actually 0 and when I do a write to it, the result is 0, but it doesn't change it from a 0 to a 1.

Some initial ideas - check the @SERROR result after the read and write calls. In particular, make sure you aren't getting an Access Denied message.
Also, you're writing a DWORD, which is numeric. Don't enclose the value in quotes, which forces the value to be a string.
Couple of other thoughts: What kind of remote computer? Is it a 32 or 64 bit O/S? Is remote-registry disabled by GPO or other security measure? Does it work when logged in locally?

Hi Glenn.
Thanks for the quick response.
It's a 2k8r2 64bit vm. I run the readvalue locally and it returns a 1 with operation completed successfully. I look in regedit and it says 0.
Remote Registry is not disabled as I can remote into it from my laptop, but like I said I get the same thing locally. I'm assuming this isn't a Kix issue so I'll see what I can figure out. Thanks for the help.
32bit Registry Entries are contained in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node" on 64bit Windows.... you might look there to verify if it is there or not.

Yes, but Kix is 32-bit and is reading the "reflected" values. Read the manual for SetOption and follow the link there. Also look at the README file included in the Kix download as it discribes a setting similar to Wow64FileRedirection that relates to the registry. You'll likely need to turn it OFF to change 64-bit settings.
