I have searched all over these forums and the internet to find and answer but have turned up nothing. I am trying to include a registry entry in my logon script. No problem, right? The registry entry is for a license server for a piece of software we run. When I put @licsrv01; in the registry for the entry, it works. When I put that in the kix script and check the registry, it comes up as <unidentified licsrv01;. For some reason the @ symbol comes up as unidentified. I have tried the following:
WriteValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FLEXlm License Manager\", "ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE", "@licsrv01;", "REG_SZ")
WriteValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FLEXlm License Manager\", "ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE", "'@licsrv01;'", "REG_SZ")<--Double quotes with single quotes inside
WriteValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FLEXlm License Manager\", "ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE", "licsrv01;", "REG_SZ")
WriteValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FLEXlm License Manager\", "ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE", "licsrv01", "REG_SZ")
Does anyone know how I can get the @ symbol to be inserted before the license server name? Thanks in advance for any help.

Or you can add the following to the beginning of your script:
$ = SetOption("NoMacrosInStrings","ON")
That will ensure that any @ symbols inside a string won't be parsed as macros.

Note: The characters @, %, or $ are normally used to indicate macros, environment strings, or variables. If you want to use these characters in a string, use @@, %%, or $$.
Hope that helps!

Brad

Y'all are all so smart! I tried both ways (NoMacros and @@) and they both worked. Are there any cons to using the @@? The reason I ask is because I have an @USERID to exclude someone from this update, so the @@ is easier. Thanks for the quick replies and getting me fixed up. I'm still new to the whole KixTart experience but I'm loving it.
