Thanks Rick, I just knew there was a default option out there that I was
missing. ;)
As it happens, in the time since my original post on this, I found that
this setting had been updated in the 'install' part of the registry, and
that in deleting or changing the value through scripts, the variable
from the 'install' was over-writing the scripted changes while within
the session.=20
Really weird behavior I think, but my solution has been to 'blank' the
value under the 'install', and then wipe and recreate the \account name
key. This then auto creates the correct value under the \account name
key, and groupwise then auto-recognizes the user id and correctly
associates the users to their mailbox.=20
I'm still unclear as to how this was hardest under 'install' to a
restricted users login in the first place, but things appear to be
working better now.=20
Thanks,=20

Hi Jim,
The default label is "".So what you want to do is:
$user=3D@userid
writevalue ("HKCU\software\novell\groupwise\login parameters\Account
name", "", "$user", "REG_SZ")

Rick

Subject: [THIN] Odd registry key
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.=20
=20
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.=20
=20
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.=20
=20
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 ).=20
=20
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.=20
=20
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:
=20
dim $user
$user=3D@userid
writevalue ("HKCU\software\novell\groupwise\login parameters\Account
name", "(Default)", "$user", "REG_SZ")
=20
As mentioned above, this script creates a second regkey named (default)
in the correct location, as opposed to replacing the existing one.=20
=20
Thanks,
=20
