Issue with importing a .reg file

Hi,
I have created a script to import a .reg file. on the workstation the .reg file and the Kace8925.bat file exist in C:\ProgramData\Dell\KACE\kbots_cache\packages\kbots\208

If i run the Kace8925.bat manually file it works fine. But if I run the script from within Kace it says it completed ok but it does not actually import the data.
Here is part of script, run as local system.

Can anyone assist with why it would not work ?

  • I find it easier to Launch a program instead of a batch file.

    Dir - SYS
    File - cmd.exe
    Parameters /C regedit /s "$(KACE_DEPENDENCY_DIR)\uat.reg" - bbroski 9 years ago

Ok ... after some more playing around I changed the Windows Run As to "Logged-in user" from "Local System" and this worked

  • if the reg poke modifies the hkcu, it does need to be run as the current user - SMal.tmcc 9 years ago
