I am trying to change a value in the registry and I have seen it two different ways but neither seem to work.

This is the two line that I need to change and the two ways I have attempted it. If someone could help that would be great.


#$ = writevalue ('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lightspeed Systems\SecurityAgent' /v "Use Lightspeed" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f)
#$ = writevalue ('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lightspeed Systems\SecurityAgent' /v "TTC Server" /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d ttp.pamplincorp.com /f)

$ReturnCode = AddKey("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lightspeed Systems\SecurityAgent' /v "Use Lightspeed" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f")
If $ReturnCode = 0
? "Key added...."
Endif

$ReturnCode = AddKey("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lightspeed Systems\SecurityAgent' /v "TTC Server" /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d ttp.pamplincorp.com /f")
If $ReturnCode = 0
? "Key added...."
Endif

Thank you,
Cameron

If I understand what you're trying to enter correctly....Try this...

 Code:
$null = writevalue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lightspeed Systems\SecurityAgent","Use Lightspeed","0","REG_DWORD")
$null = writevalue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lightspeed Systems\SecurityAgent","TTC Server","ttp.pamplincorp.com","REG_MULTI_SZ")

One small comment.
Regular users are not able to write to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. You need to be some kind of admin, use an admin script from one workstation with a user that has admin privileges on all other workstations to all others or temporarily elevate the privileges of the currently logged in user.

If your end users are not admin on the local computers, may I suggest making a batch file and call it using runnas with administrator credentials. Thats what I have done in the past however now our end users are local admins so I just code whatever I need done in kix.

I used to use a program called sanur.exe (runas backwards) combined with the tokenization of the kix scripts using the /t command. It allowed me to pass the password as well as username. It's not a totally secure method by any means, but the scripts were at least obfuscated due to the tokenizing.

Shane - I attempted to put the two lines into the login.ini file and it still didn't want to go. I am a Enterprise and domain admin and it still doesn't want to change the registry yet the personal folder get mapped. This is what I have in my ini.

[COMMON]
ClearPrinterMappings=n
ForceVisible=y
ClearDriveMappings=y
ClearShareConnections=y
MinimumDisplayTime=15
BEEP=N
$null = writevalue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lightspeed Systems\SecurityAgent","Use Lightspeed","0","REG_DWORD")
$null = writevalue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lightspeed Systems\SecurityAgent","TTC Server","ttp.pamplincorp.com","REG_MULTI_SZ")


[COMMAND definitions]
CLASS=COMMAND
PATH=\\pcc-trackit2\TrackIt8\Audit32.exe
PRIV=null
COMPUTEROUS=!servers,!Domain Controllers,!pamplincom\servers
GROUPS=domain users,

[Personal]
CLASS=DISK
TARGET=P:
PATH=\\pmg2svr\%username%$
DESC=Personal Drive

Your writevalue lines go in the script itself, and not the ini.

Allen - I understand you when you say they don't go in the INI file, the part that I am just not getting is where they should go. You said it should be in the script itself. I am obviously missing something because I thought that was the script. The only other files I have in the Netlogon folder are the KIX32.exe and the kixtart.kix file. Is there another file I should have in there that I don't have that the ini file should be calling to run like I do for our Trackit Audit program? Hopefully your next reply will make a light switch go on for me.

Thank you
Cameron

Open kixtart.kix with notepad. That is the main script.

OK- I am thinking then that my file is corrupt. This is a small sample of what is in that file.

Okay... one of two options here... either kixtart.kix is tokenized (form of security) or you opened kix32.exe with notepad.

If the kix file is tokenized, then you will have to find the original untokenized kix file, OR you will have to rewrite it from scratch.

You are using my Universal Login Script.. it is tokenized. If you wish you can contact me directly for free support on using the login script. Use the contact page on my web site.

Cameron,

You can do what you need through a combination of techniques.

First, create a simple Kix script that updates the registry with standard WriteValue() commands. Test it to verify that it works as intended.

VERY IMPORTANT!!! Use Dim to declare all of your variables in your script!
You can use the commands that Shane presented earlier. You don't need to set Break On/Off as this is inherited from the main script. If you read the manual, you will see that external scripts that are CALLed are most efficient, but care should be taken to insure your variable names are unique. A simple way to do this is to insert an underscore at either the beginning or end of your var name. For example: $_Null or $Null_. You can view the latest version of the manual on my web site.

Once your script to update registry values has been tested, simply copy it to the NetLogon share where the Kixtart.Kix file is and then edit the LOGIN.INI file, adding the following section:
 Code:
[REG_UPDATE]
CLASS=COMMAND
METHOD=CALL
PATH=regupdate.kix
This will run the "regupdate.kix" script by calling it directly from the login script. This eliminates the need to invoke Kix32 again and results in faster processing. It also depends on full variable declarations and no global varname conflicts. See the README.TXT file for a full list of variable and function names used in the script.

The example above runs for all users on all computers. Use the appropriate parameters to control execution by group, OU, computer OU, etc..

Also, the following isn't quite correct:
 Code:
[COMMAND definitions]
CLASS=COMMAND
PATH=\\pcc-trackit2\TrackIt8\Audit32.exe
PRIV=null
COMPUTEROUS=!servers,!Domain Controllers,!pamplincom\servers
GROUPS=domain users,
"COMMAND Definitions" should be a unique name, such as "Audit32". Also, PRIV should be either GUEST or ADMIN. If it isn't required, remove it.

Glenn
