Add many mt's to the Update Retriever

Question

Hi,
we have to add many MT's in different languages and different windows version to the update retriever.
Is there a nice solution for import them from a txt or xml file? I don't want to add more than 1000 entries by hand.

Hi,
of course, there is a way, how to do it.
Here is a short info on how to add multiple MTM's into TVUR:
- open registry and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\Update Retriever\Preferences\UserSettings\General
the key called "Systems" contains all the MTM numbers, that you have entered, or want to be entered i nthe GUI.
You can create in a txt file a list of all the MTM's and languages in following strucutre/example:
1234,Windows XP,EN
5678,Windows Vista,DE
As you see, the first 4 numbers are the MTM number, the other is the OS Version and the 3rd part is the language code.
According the language code, you can see the supported languages in folowing registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\Update Retriever\Preferences\UCSettings\General\LanguagesCodes
Let me know if you will have any issue with this, as this is the method, that we have used all the time.
If this helps, please feel free to mark this post as fixed.
Cheers
