Reg Query

[Guest]

What I am trying to accomplish is when quering a registry key on a remote pc by default the dos window does not display the remote machine name.

Example:

! REG.EXE VERSION 3.0

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intel\Landesk\VirusPro tect6\CurrentVersion
Parent REG_SZ VAFXAVS10

now what I would like is for when selecting multiple machines and saving the output to a txt file to insert the pc's name in the txt file. How can this be accoplished? The current command I am using is:

cmd.exe /x /c reg query "\\%E%\HKLM\Software\Intel\Landesk\VirusProtect6\C urrentVersion" /v Parent >> c:\%E%_nav_parent.txt

which gives me a seperate .txt file for each machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Reg Query

You'll have to experiment with this, but you should be able to put this on the end of your command:

& echo %E% >> c:\nav_parent.txt

Re: Reg Query

I tried to place the string yuou gave me at the end and at the beginning and still no luck. By placing the string at the end the resulting text file only lists the names of the pc's and no reg info. I realize theat this is really not a hyena problem/issue but thank you for giving it a shot. If anyone else knows the correct syntax please fell free to enlighten me.

Re: Reg Query

I tried:
cmd.exe /x /c reg query "\\%E%\HKLM\Software\Intel\Landesk\VirusProtect6\C urrentVersion" /v Parent & echo %E% >> c:\nav_parent.txt

OUTPUT RESULTS: only lists the machne names and ignored the reg query comand

and cmd.exe /x /c echo %E% & reg query "\\%E%\HKLM\Software\Intel\Landesk\VirusProtect6\C urrentVersion" /v Parent >> c:\nav_parent

OUTPUT RESULTS: only lists the reg query results and ignored the echo request for the machine name

Sorry About That. The following command works:

cmd.exe /x /c echo %E% >> c:\nav_parent.txt & reg query "\\%E%\HKLM\Software\Intel\Landesk\VirusProtect6\C urrentVersion" /v Parent >> c:\nav_parent.txt

Thanks

Re: Reg Query

I meant to add it to the end of your original command like this:

cmd.exe /x /c reg query "\\%E%\HKLM\Software\Intel\Landesk\VirusProtect6\C urrentVersion" /v Parent >> c:\nav_parent.txt & echo %E% >> c:\nav_parent.txt

Re: Reg Query

Are you querying NT4 boxes?

If you're only checking on 2K and XP boxes, you're better off using the registry portion of WMI, of the RegObj.dll file (Reg.exe can have a difficult time with output).

Also, it looks to me like you're querying the remote PCs to find you what the parent server is in a Symantec System Center environment...correct?

See the April 1st, 2003 posting. The script in there can be modified slightly to produce the results you want, in any format.

Hope this helps a little.
