[THIN] Odd registry key
- From: "Jim Hathaway" <JimH@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- To: <thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

An odd issue has come up on a network w/ Win2k TS servers, running the
novell client and groupwise. The default user for notify somehow got
replaced with a single user name, so now when all users log in they get
prompted to connect to groupwise as this other user, not themselves.
The reg key for this setting is located at
HKCU\Software\Novell\Groupwise\login parameters\Account Name . . . it is
the only subkey under this key.
Here's the interesting part. Under Regedit, this key shows up as
(Default), under Regedt32, it shows up as <NO NAME>, if I export the
value to a .reg file it shows up as an '@' symbol.
I've tried the simple stuff first in just trying to overwrite the key,
but all attempts so far have only created other keys, and not
overwritten the existing value. ( I would assume that this is because of
the variety of names the particular key has ).
I'm working on a vbs script that I hope will at least delete the current
setting, but this seems like very odd behavior here. I'm curious if
other folks with groupwise running on their TS boxes have seen this be
an issue before, or what they have as the value for their users at that
registry location. My searchs on novell's site so far haven't lead me
anywhere.
Also if anyone has any thoughts on how I might be able to overwrite the
current value using VBS, Kix, or Regini, I would very much appreciate
it. Sample kix script that creates another key in the path mentioned
above:
dim $user
$user=@userid
writevalue ("HKCU\software\novell\groupwise\login parameters\Account
name", "(Default)", "$user", "REG_SZ")
As mentioned above, this script creates a second regkey named (default)
in the correct location, as opposed to replacing the existing one.
Thanks,
J
