K-Scripting: Setting a registry key

I want this script to see if the Kace key exists.

If it does - stop.

If it does not - run the batch file, then set the key.

 

I can run this script all day long and the batch file works fine but it will never set the key.  Why is this?

I'm a Kace noob, so I'm sure it's something basic that I'm overlooking.  Help!

This is what I'm running currently, and the resulting log with error.  I am running it as a domain admin account, but getting an error on setting the reg key.  I tried running the batch file under "on success" but then it completely ignored the remediation step of setting the registry key.

it is running the batch file, exiting when done  and not returning to the script
put a reg.exe command in the batch file at the end.

Why are you using that key vs one more aimed towards office2010rearm?

  • Sorry, I meant to post the logs as well. It attempts to set the key, but does not actually do it on the client computer. They key can be anything, I was just using that as a placeholder and testing on one computer before an enterprise-wide push.

    • that makes sense on the key name now.
      is the batch something like?

      "C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform\ospprearm.exe"

      cscript "c:\program files\microsoft office\office14\ospp.vbs" /act - SMal.tmcc 11 years ago
  • Exactly that! - mpeters 11 years ago
    • have you tried to run the batch file under "on success" and leave the reg change in remediation. - SMal.tmcc 11 years ago
