Topic: Little info needed about netlogon.bat

[ninoreyes200]

Ok i am running sme 7rc2 as server gateway mode. It is also my domain controller with roaming profiles enable. I wanted to do some registry changess in all the client computers  (winXP SP2) connected to it. One of my changes is simply to enable log file in a program called radmin on all the computers(on installation this feature of the program is disabled). i had placed this line in the netlogon.bat file to see if it would automatically enable the log for me but sadly it doesn't:

reg ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\RAdmin\v2.0\Server\Parameters" /v EnableLogFile /t REG_BINARY /d 01000000 /f

Can someone please help me and tell me what in doing wrong. Im pretty sure i got the path, value,value type and data correct because i had placed it in a test batch file i created to see if it would work and it does change the value when i run the test batch file.

Thanks

First of all I advice you to upgrade to the latest stabkle version of SME Server.

Did you perhaps with your admin account or a special user accopunt? Are your users are local administrators (or perhaps power users) as I am not sure if normal domain users will have registry access.

Perhaps you can test it using a normal user and add a pause command at the next line to see what the result of your command is (perhaps there might be a error messgae which you will not see as netlogon.bat runs pretty quickly normally.

You are soo right, upon closer inspection of my netlogon.bat file, it was getting access denied on everything i was trying to do. I have to make the roaming pofile a local administrator then everything worked like a charm.

Thanks
