Hi All

I would like to create a batch file that does not prompt me to choose an option. I have exported a registry DWORD value which I would like to add to all the workstations; however, when you click on the *.reg file it prompts for an option of "yes" or "no" to add the value to the registry. I have created a batch file to run from the server to install at startup on all the workstations, but I do not know what switch if there is one to use in the batch file to automatically choose yes

C:\ Start updatetopleveldnszones.re

This opens the file, which asks if I would like to add this value to the registry "yes" or "No". I would like to know what to add to the above to make the program automatically choose "yes" without end user interaction. Thanks

Best regards

Samantha

regedit.exe /S <path>\updatetopleveldnszones.reg
"/S" for silent.

You can use a START but likely don't need to.
regedit.exe should set an errorlevel. You should test that in your
environment if you need to.

Hi Mark

Thanks I will try it.

explicitly execute the regedit.exe registry editor to import (merge)
the .REG files and do it silently.

> regedit.exe /S <path>\updatetopleveldnszones.reg

Where "<path>"= a fully qualified path to the .REG file if not in the
(presume) netlogon location.

I suggest you do what Mark suggested. To repeat:
