Do you mind if I use this for another team (11314)? :cool:

Not at all, it's "open source." :D

Like I mentioned above, there are problems with the install on domain networks, so I'll have that fixed soon.

FAH_WW, whoops, adim/owner, not just "regular poster." :D
 
ROFL :D - I'm just as regular as the next guy, hehe - there are a lot of others who do more for the site then me, I just provide the domain, server and attempt to keep the software going that end - most of the others help out actual folders a lot more than me, although sometimes I get involved there.

As the weather now seems to have taken a turn for the worse, I reckon I'll spend a bit of time testing upgrades on my site, maybe it will work :)
 
Ok I tried this as it was and it didn't really work.

I am on a domain don’t know if that's why.

So here's what I did.

I tried it as is, to a single computer and checked the computer.

It seemed that the reg file was not importing.

I checked the script and saw

for /f "delims=," %%I IN (computer.txt) DO regedit.exe /s "\\%%I\C$\Program Files\FAH\FAH.reg"

Well this line looks to me that it would take the reg file from the other computer and import into the local machine of the computer I was installing from. It did :eh?:

So I did some searching and found a tool that allowed remote registry importing (to import the REG file to the remote machine).

It's from Sysinternals and is freeware. It's called SysExec.

http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/psexec.shtml

So I added the file to the folder where the script is, and changed the line from:
Code:
for /f "delims=," %%I IN (computer.txt) DO regedit.exe /s "\\%%I\C$\Program Files\FAH\FAH.reg"

to
Code:
for /f "delims=," %%I IN (computer.txt) DO psexec \\%%I -s -i -d %windir%\regedit.exe /s "\\%%I\C$\Program Files\FAH\FAH.reg"

I also commented out the line to delete the reg file.

It works perfectly now.

I had been putting off this borg of a few machines just because I didn’t feel like doing it manually.

Thanks again Wedo. :attn:
 
Wow, this is awesome Wedo. I'm still working up the courage to ask my college's nazis... I mean admin's if I can load F@H on some of the computer lab rigs. They have like 20 or so and that would be awesome. They have Deepfreeze on them though, so I have to ask the nazis for permission and then have them unlock every pc so I can install it. Big pain in the butt. Oh, speaking of new programs. Is that Beowulf cluster still possible? or is it a distant dream.
