#45817 - 2003-09-22 08:52 PM adding .reg to login script
Glenn H Glenn H Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-09-15 Posts: 12	Ok, today is an especially moronic day for me. This is what we have done. We have created a .reg file to copy a certain amount of entries into the registry of our W2K workstations to point to a spcific server so we can automatically apply patches to workstations. So what I have done is I created a small batch file that has the following command in it regedit.exe /s sus.reg. The batch file and the sus.reg file exist on a network share. I know there are not any permissions issues as we are already copying files to the workstation from the shared directory. So the command from the login script is : shell "P:\sus.bat". This is not rocket science, but the script will just not run. Yet, if I execute the bat file from the network share manually without the login script, it copies in the registry entries. HELP ! REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU] "RescheduleWaitTime"=dword:15 "NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers"=dword:1 "NoAutoUpdate"=dword:0 "AUOptions"=dword:4 "ScheduledInstallDay"=dword:0 "ScheduledInstallTime"=dword:15 "UseWUServer"=dword:1 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate] "WUServer"="http://srv015" "WUStatusServer"="http://srv015"

Also, you can use WRITEVALUE() to write to registry keys. Finally, I'd rather do this via an admin script. Use the NetView2() UDF to enumerate the computers in the domain, then do a remote registry write as outlined in the KiXtart Manual in order to write the values. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

I have tried to add all the registry keys manually, using SAVEKEY, ADDKEY and WRITEVALUE commands. I have tried adding the keys with your suggestion and I have tried adding the keys through the patch file. The only thing that I can this of is that this KEY does not exist [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\]

And please explain why an admin script would not work? _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

And please mention the Kixtart version the next time you're posting as you are using a rather old version. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
