Add Registry Keys to LTI OSD build - 2/20/2007 9:49:41 AM

Afternoon all...

Quick question....

I am wanting to add a couple of .reg files to my SMS OSD LTI build without re-compiling the build.

I tried adding them to the state-restore phase of the image, including the regedit.exe and the regfile, with the command line being:

"regedit /s \\sms01\ZTI\example.reg"

The problem is that the reg files do not seem to have applied when the build is built.

Am I following the right format with this? If not is there an easier way?

Regards

Chris

Here is a code sample for editing the system hive from within WinPE, hopefully this helps.

'Load System Hive
sCmd = "cmd /c ""REG LOAD HKLM\TempHive " & Left(oUtility.LocalRootPath, 2) & "\windows\system32\config\system"""
iRetVal = oShell.Run(sCmd, 0, true)
If Err then
   oLogging.CreateEntry "USEREXIT: WARNING - Error loading system hive: " & Err.Description & " (" & Err.Number & ")", LogTypeWarning
Else
   'Change startup to disabled
   oShell.RegWrite "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\TempHive\key\key", &H00000001, "REG_DWORD"
   'Unload System Hive
   sCmd = "cmd /c ""REG UNLOAD HKLM\TempHive"""
   iRetVal = oShell.Run(sCmd, 0, true)
   oLogging.CreateEntry "USEREXIT: Loaded System Hive", LogTypeInfo
End if

Thanks,
Ben Hunter

Thanks Ben!

The problem is, I don't get it to work. Anyway I created another script that load hives my settings but I don't really understand how this could possibly work by hiving in settings in default user profile.
The winlogon settings are located in HKLM section and I can just say that I've been struggling with this one for more than a week now.

Is there anybody who have a solution to import reg settings in state restore phase?

So are you trying to make HKLM changes, or changes to the individual user and/or Default profile hive? Does this: http://www.myitforum.com/articles/11/view.asp?id=10825 help? If not, maybe post your .REG file and someone can help...

I need to import the registry settings to the winlogon key located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

The hive is not the right way to solve this simply beacuse this is not the key that needs to be applied to the HKCU section. It seems that the TS process cannot import registry changes at all under the state restore phase (LTI). Any other suggestions?

it seems that it works if you use cmd file where you put the regimport command and run the file from the TS. This sounds crazy but it works. I'm going to test a little bit further and return with complete description.
