Hi

I need to add an extra path to the path on all my domain computers.

The computers allready have a path:
"%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem"
(Found in registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Environment] )

I need to add an extra path (c:\pctools) to that.

I tried with a .reg file, but I can't get it to add to what is allready in
the key - it replaces the old value with the new, but I need it to add the
new to the old

..reg file that sets the path to c:\pctools:
"REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Environment]
"Path"= hex(2):63,3a,5c,70,63,74,6f,6f,6c,73"

Is there an easier way of doing this by GP, or how can I get it to add my
path instead of replacing it via the .reg file ?

Hi Mark

My german is not so good, but dosen't:
"Achtung! Vorhandene Pfade werden durch diese Angabe komplett ersetzt"
mean, that my existing path will be replaced ?

Also I get an error when trying to import the text to a GP via an .inf file.

Regards

Jan

Couldn't wait, so I found the answer myself.

Script:

strComputer = "."

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * From Win32_Environment Where Name = 'Path'")

For Each objItem in colItems
strPath = objItem.VariableValue & ";C:\Scripts\"
objItem.VariableValue = strPath
objItem.Put_
Next
