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.

I would have posted this as a comment, but it seems you can attach photos in a comment... - mpeters 10 years ago
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 10 years ago

Exactly that! - mpeters 10 years ago

have you tried to run the batch file under "on success" and leave the reg change in remediation. - SMal.tmcc 10 years ago
