Help with KIX script please

[Guest salan]

Hi All,

New to educational enviornment but not IT (Been in WAY too long!!! lol).

I am on the steep learning curve with a few things but could do with some help with adding a reg key via a KIX script.

We have a ligin.kix that runs and maps drives, and writes certain reg entries.

I want to add a website tothe allowed popups reg entry on all machines.

Trouble is when I tried to do this, I broke the script! The script did not run anything after the entry.

Soooo, Can anyone give me an example of what I should be putting?

Here is the script that we use (remember that I have JUST taken over so still in the ' if it works LEAVE IT and sort out the fires! mode).

Hi there and welcome to the wonders of education IT!!

 

Can you attach the kix script itself to a post please? I think I can see where it is going wrong but with the formatting of the forum it's making it a little hard to read. Also I'm not sure if that is all the script being shown or if theres more.

;if ingroup(NoDownloads) WriteValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3","1803","00000003","REG_DWORD") ENDIF

 

Why have you commented out the if statements?

Hi,

I havn't!

this is the script as it stands now.

As it happens, I have used GPO to do what I am after, but I would still like to know how to add things to the KIX scripts.

Basically any line that has a ; before it is treated as a comment. From the code that you have posted, I think what you are after is:

 

; Zentek Computers

; Kix 2000 Script

; To Allow Changes at " Current User "

; Maps Drives , Changes Local Printers , Changed Registry

 

 

 

$local="c:\local.prt"

 

break off

 

 

 

; Mapping drives for Win2k,WinXP and Win9x

 

use p: "\\server\apps$"

use s: "\\server\classwork$"

 

 

;Redirect no Internet group

If (InGroup("NoInternet")=1) OR (InGroup("NoInternet")=2)

If WriteValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings", "ProxyServer", "127.0.0.1:8080", "REG_SZ") = 0

? "Registry value written"

EndIf

EndIf

 

;Stop users from downloading

If (InGroup("NoDownloads")=1) OR (InGroup("NoDownloads")=2)

If WriteValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3", "1803", "00000003", "REG_DWORD") = 0

? "Registry value written"

EndIf

EndIf

 

;Execute local Printers

call $local

 

Hopefully that should fix the problem.

I used to love Kixstart

Thanks for the replies. Can anyone reccomend, or point me to any books/white papers/downloads on these scripts and examples?

You may want to look at converting to VB script. Theres nothing in that script that couldnt easily be ported over. There is plenty of VB script knowledge and examples on this site.
