3.22 REGREAD

Use REGREAD to read values from the Windows registry through a Novell login script on Novell Clients 3.0x and 4.5 and higher for Windows.

Command Format

REGREAD “HIVE,KEY,VALUE"

IMPORTANT:Case is important, and no spaces are allowed after the commas.

HIVE is HKLM, HKCU, HKU, etc.

KEY is the path to the value. For example: Network\Novell\System Config\NetWare DOS Requester\Name Context.

VALUE is the name of the value if you want to read (a value other than default); otherwise, leave it blank.

Example

REGREAD "HKLM,Network\Novell\System Config\NetWare DOS Requester\Name Context,0"

This reads the data from the Value Name 0. The data read is placed in the variable, %99. The value can then be used in subsequent login script logic.

The following is a sample script that you can use to test this feature:

WRITE "Running REGREAD TEST Script"
REGREAD "HKLM,Network\Novell\System Config\NetWare DOS Requester\Name Context,0"
WRITE "Value = %99"
SET REGVAL="%99"
PAUSE
EXIT
