hi gurus.... I'm trying to figure out why my reg import command is not working in the script below. When I run the reg import fileName.reg from the DOS it works fine but when included in the script below it does nothing and I cannot find why. I can see the export completed correctly and the format looks ok to me. When I use the the reg import command on the same exported file it works fine. Below is the code. THx.... @echo off SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS SETLOCAL DISABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION REM This script updates the Windows Registry for the REM update Admin Nodes set service1Key=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\MyService1\Parameters set service2Key=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\MyService2\Parameters echo updating [%service1Key%] call :updateRegKeys %service1Key% echo updating [%service2Key%] call :updateRegKeys %service2Key% SET count=3 set looper=1 FOR /L %%A IN (1,1,%count%) DO (call :updateAllServers %%A) GOTO:EOF :updateAllServers SET domainKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\MyDomain%looper%\Parameters SET otherDomainKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\MyOtherDomain%looper%\Parameters echo [%domainKey%] echo [%otherDomainKey%] echo . call :updateRegKeys %domainKey% call :updateRegKeys %otherDomainKey% set /a looper+=1 goto:eof :updateRegKeys SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS SETLOCAL DISABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION set "registrykey=%1" set findv="-Xms512m" set replacev="-Xms512m something that is long" echo "Updating registry values, please wait..."

I have approved some November Windows updates and tested them on a select few machines. For some reason update 20 of 25 is taking 3 hour to install on 25% of the machines. I cannot roll this update out to the whole network. Does anyone know a way of finding out which update is (update 20) so I can stop it being deployed. I do not believe these updates save anything in the event viewer logs and the WindowsUpdate.log in WIndows does not seem to show any update kb numbers or anything useful? Thanks guys!

Background We have a students OU and inside this OU are other OU's for the year the student would have started at our school (05,06,07,08,09) Inside these OU's are the student accounts so a student called Fred Bloggs who started in 2007 will be found in the 07 OU with the user name 07BloggsF The problem If I go to the students OU and search for Smith it finds all the Smiths in the 05,06 and 07 OU's but will not bring up the Smiths in the 08 or 09 OU's. To find those you have to search for 08Smith or 09Smith. Why is it doing this? and how do I fix it?
