Help Configuring Environment Variables with a batch file.

[arymal29]

I am trying to write a batch file to configure w2k
environment variables. Everything I have tried hasn't
work.

User variables :
XXX_HOME => variable
C:\XXX => value

XXX_AUTH_METHOD => variable
PW => value

XXX_CASESENSE => variable
MIXED => value

NLSPATH => variable
C:\XXX\EDU\%N => value


System variable :
HOSTNAME => variable
ARYMAL => value

ARYMAL29_TXT => variable
ZZZZZ => value

XXX_USER => variable
ANYBODY => value

USER => variable
ANYBODY => value

PATH => variable (need to contain a network drive mapped
to the machine ex: V;\V:\codepage)

You can use setx.exe from the resource kit.

You can use setx.exe from the resource kit.

Note that it is in the free part of Win2000 Resource Kit:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/existing/setx-o.asp

When adding or removing components from the _path_ from the command line,
I suggest using Pathman.exe (Path Manager).

Pathman.exe can be downloaded from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/existing/pathman-o.asp

It will e.g. handle repeated entries.
