vbscript, Adding a value to the registry of a remote PC using REGOBJ.DLL

Adding a value to the registry of a remote PC using REGOBJ.DLL

Author	Message
wchul #1 / 3	Adding a value to the registry of a remote PC using REGOBJ.DLL Please help of you can: I purchased the book "Windows Scripting Host 2.0 Developers Guide" and I was trying to write a program and I have run into a problem trying to add a value to the registry on a remote PC. I have a need to invoke a program one time on about 300 PC's and thought that if I could add this to the HKLM\Software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\runonce I could handle this remotely though a single program. In the book the author mentioned that you could do this sort of thing by installing the RegObj.dll that was available from Microsoft and also included on the CD that accompanied the the Book. After installing and registering the DLL, I wrote the following program based on the information in the book and the RegObj.doc file found on the CD. DIM Objreg,ObjKey,ObjRemote Set Objreg = Wscript.CreateObject("RegObj.Registry") Set ObjRemote = ObjReg.RemoteRegistry("\\TESTPC") Set ObjKey = ObjRemote.RegKeyFromString("\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows \CurrentVersion\RunOnce") ObjKey.Values.Add "DMITEST", "D:\DMI\DMICOPY.VBS", "REG_SZ" The problem that I am having seems to be related to the last line in the program. When run, my program produces an error message that reads: Test1.vbs(5, 1) RegValues: Type Mismatch. The RegObj.DOC shows that the last line of code should contain a reference to RegValueType but doesn't give an example of how to set this up. The code sample in the doc is: ObjKey.Values.Add "Name1", "value", RegValueType.rvString Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks you!
