Pushing a 64 bit registry key

Hi Guys,
I am trying to push a reg key to 64 bit systems that falls in the wow6432node folder. I have verified it works if I run it locally with the command
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regedit.exe /s "HKLM Field Mappings.reg". I have tried pushing this using the regedit in system32 and syswow64.
I have tried pushing this as an application and a package in SCCM, both complete and say installed but I do not have the entry in the local registry.
Any ideas ?

Hi,
I recommend you check the log file execmgr.log.
Also, you could download a tool called “Reg2exe”
This is small tool that let you change reg keys to exe, then you could deploy them as exe program with SCCM.
Here is a similar post for your reference.
Deployed Reg Edit says it's successful in execmgr.log. But, it still doesn't show up in the registry on the client machine. What am I missing?

Outlook 'Bitness' registry key not set. by 64-bit install of Office 2013

A 32-bit version of Office 2013 was installed by default on Windows 8.
I uninstalled this and installed the 64-bit version as per http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/choose-the-32-bit-or-64-bit-version-of-office-HA102840825.aspx.
But the Outlook "Bitness" registry key is missing, i.e. no \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Bitness.
(Note: the old 32-bit install had key \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Bitness)
Thank you for any insights as to why the key isn't set.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in the MSDN Forum.
Since the issue is more relate to the end-user, I'd like to move it to Outlook IT pro forum.
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us.
Thanks for your understanding.

Registry Keys path for Windows 2008 (64-bit)

In the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide it discusses setting the range of ports that the RAS uses in the following registry keys in Windows as.....
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\CER\RequestPortLower
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\CER\RequestPortUpper
That only applies to 32-bit OS. If you are running under 64-bit OS then the paths are different....
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\CER\RequestPortLower
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\CER\RequestPortUpper
Posting this here so others can find it.

Ingo -
This is for the BusinessObjects BI Solution Architecture, the REGEDIT path documented in the "working with firewalls" section of the BOE-3.1 Admin Guide applies only to the 32 bit version of Windows.
In the 64-bit OS, the path is different....as noted in my post.
Looking forward to taking your BOE-4.0 course in Orlando on Sunday.
Thanks,

Java Plug-in not working with WinXP SP2 Registry Key Missing Error Pop-Up

I have WinXp PRO with SP2 and the Oct 12 Security Update Patch for SP2 loaded and I went to my Control Panel and saw that the JavaRuntime Environment 1.4.2_04 icon was missing and when I went to click the Java Plugin icon to Open it, I got the following message in a Error Pop-Up window:
The system cannot find the registry key specified:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java pPlug-in\1.4.2_04\JavaHome
I then went to Chage Access Program Controls and when I clicked on the Change box for the program, it wanted me to re-install the whole environment.
Prior to doing this, and potentially screwing up my MS winXp environment, I went to the Sun support page for Java Plug-in and I did get the dancing elmo appear as they said I would but I noticed that my environment was MS VM, not Java and that I was out of date and a newer update was avaliable.
The downloads page for the plug-in states clearly that it supports WinXp SP1 and NOT SP2.
SO, my question is, do I need to re-install anything or wait till the whole SP2 issue and java with (BITS) issue gets resolved and just use the MS VM engine during my browsing time? Is there a workaround and what impact will this have on my system? I am not developing Java Apps but am a Power user in Windows who is wondering if applets and general browsing might be easier, faster and more fluid if the Java Runtime was enabled as opposed to the MS VM solution?
Any ideas or thoughts on this very timely issue would be greatly appreciated as I see others have tried to post related issues but none that succinctly combines what I have asked for here in this post.
Thanks from NYC -Phil

did you know that XP SP2 has so many technical problems? try SP1 or contact the WindowsXP Vendor

Failed to set security on SQL Server registry key. Error: 2

Hi,
I have a Primary site (mixed mode) running SCCM 2007 SP1 for many months now with no issues.
This site is made up of two Win 2008 sp2 servers sharing the SCCM roles:-
SCCM01 - Site server, DP, RP, PXE and SQL2005 hosting the SCCM database
SCCM02 – SUP, MP, FSP, SLP
The SQL2005 on SCCM01 is running under a domain service account called
domain\service_sccm which is also a sysadmin in SQL as is the SCCM02 server.
In an effort to resolve the isse I have made this account a Domain Admin.
I have also used this account to log onto SEC01 to run the Secondary Site installation and to be the SQL Service account.
I'm now trying to add a Secondary Site on a Domain Controller called SEC01 (also Win2008 sp2) and on the same LAN as the SCCM01/02.
This is where I get problems.
I run the installation locally on the Sec Site server (DC) as a Domain Admin and the installation completes OK (all green ticks),
the ComponentSetup.log and Pre-Reqs are all good as well however when I check the ConfigMgrSetup.log I see the below -
Failed to set security on SQL Server registry key. Error: 2.
<11-09-2010 22:46:59> SMS Setup full version is 4.00.6221.1000

Adding the PMP role to SEC01 also fails to install and no MPSetup or MPControl logs are created.
WebDav and win2008 roles, features all added and server fully patched.
Despooler.log on SCCM01 seems good and passing keys.
Tried installing to default path and to shortened path such as C:\SCCM
The new secondary site is listed in the console and an address can be added for the Secondary Site
BITS Server Extensions and Remote Differential Compression Features are enabled.
The Group memberships all appear ok:-
SCCM01
Local Admins
contains the sec site server SEC01, SCCM01, installation accounts
SMS_SiteToSiteConnection_001
SEC01 (the sec site server)
SMS_SiteSystemToSiteServerConnection_001
SCCM02
SEC01
No Local Admins as a DC
SMS_SiteToSiteConnection_002
SCCM01
SMS_SiteSystemToSiteServerConnection_002
empty
SQL 2005
This has the account logged in during installation as a sysadmin
SCCM02 is also sysadmin
The fundamental issue appears to be that the SEC01$ server account is not being added to SQL Logins (and therefore SCCM database Roles)
therefore the installation cannot complete.
I have tried to manually add the SEC01 account to SQL Logins before installation of Sec Site but this did not work.
Not sure if the fact that SEC01 is a DC may be a factor.
Appreciate any help if anyone has seen this before or can suggest a resolution.
Thanks

After a lot of digging around and head scratching I eventually found the resolution.
The original thread title Error turned out to be a bit of a red herring in that my failure to deploy Sec Sites came down to two separate issues seemingly unrelated to the error message of the thread title.
The first part of the resolution was to manually create the SQL Server accounts for the Sec Site Servers and assign them to the smsdbrole_MP DB role to
let the SQL side of the SCCM install complete a s these were not being created automatically.
This then left the fact that that the installation of the Sec Site completed successfully according to the install logs in C:\ however the DP and MP would
never install.
The big clue was eventually contained in the mpfdm.log errors relating to
**ERROR: Cannot find path for destination inbox SMS_AMT_PROXY_COMPONENT on server REGISTRY SMS_MP_FILE_DISPATCH_MANAGER
and
**ERROR: Cannot find path for destination inbox Asset Intelligence KB Manager on server REGISTRY SMS_MP_FILE_DISPATCH_MANAGER
Thankfully the errors led me to these two blogs:
http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/scassells/archive/2009/07/20/error-cannot-find-path-for-destination-inbox-sms-amt-proxy-component-on-server-registry.aspx
and
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrsetup/thread/5fcc53d4-8629-4b34-9eaa-6cb020eedc13/
As it turned out the SCCM installation registry and folder creation does not complete and I had to manually enter the reg settings as detailed in the
links above to complete the installation. Once I did as described everything worked a treat – all my MPs and DPs are 100% now.

Unable to change registry key permissions using group policy

In order to fix a problem with a piece of software not saving it's settings I need to change the permission on a registry key of our client machines.
I've setup a GPO and in Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Registry specified the registry key I want to change the permission on, added our staff security group and given the full control over that key.
The permission are not being changed and when I run rsop I'm getting the following error:
The policy engine did not attempt to configure the setting. For more information see %windir%\security\logs\winlogon.log on the target machine.
I've looked in the winlogon.log file and can see nothing meaningful that relates to this GPO. I set the logging to be verbose and this doesn't include any additional information. There appears to be nothing meaningful in the event logs on the
local machine.
The OS is Windows 7 SP1
Anybody shed any light why the policy wouldn't be applying the permissions to the registry key?

Hi,
Is this client running Windows 7 64bit? If so, this problem is expected since the Wow6432Node key is only recognizable in 64bit applications.
Security Client Side extension is a 32 bit application and therefore cannot see the key to change permissions. In this situation, you need to change permission in HKLM/Software/[appname]. For more information, please refer to
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896459
If it is Windows 7 32bit, this is a GPO not apply issue. Please check if the following registry keys exist on the Windows 7 client:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SMART Technologies
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SMART Technologies Inc.
If so, please help collect the following information:
1.
Did this problem only occur on one Windows 7 client or occur on all Windows 7clients?
2.
What’s the Operating System on the DC?
3.
Enable debug logging for the Net Logon service. Reproduce the problem and check if there is any relevant error.

Correct Import Server Registry Key

Zenworks 6.5, Zen 6.5 agent on the local workstation.
I have been troubleshooting some issues with workstation import at several
schools. I need to import the workstations to each schools container, so I
push the registry key to the workstation for the import server IP.
I am pushing this key HKLM/SOFTWARE/Novell/ZENworks/ZENWSREG with the
string value ImportServer = x.x.x.x
I have a local admin who has tried this (upgrade from Zen 4.x to Zen 6.5)
and hasn't been able to get it to work. He has configured another registry
key, and it does seem to work.
This is the other key - HKLM/SOFTWARE/Novell/Workstation Manager/Import
Server with the value as the IP address for the import server.
I thought the ZENWSREG key was the correct key, and everything I have read
on the forum indicates this.
Any ideas why the Workstation Manager key works and the ZENWSREG key
doesn't?
TIA
Dave

Thanks Jared. That's what I thought. This particular school has other
issues, including Clean Slate which blocks writing to both the HD and
Registry.
I'll post back if I find anything interesting.

How to disable Quick Time in registry key?

My organization with windows 7, server 2003 and server 2008 and have install Apple Quick Time Player 7.74.80.86 for over 100,000 machines. Can you advice any registry key to disable auto update so that I can use PowerShell Script push to all the machines?

But when I swipe down RIGHT when I get a text message, the notification tells me to reply right away. I don't want that. Is there a way to turn off this feature?

Take ownership of a registry key, and change permissions

Hello,
I am writing a powershell script to configure a W2008-R2 Server. In one of the steps, I need to take ownership of an existing registry key, and then give full control permissions to the administrators.
I have done this:
$acl = Get-Acl $key
$me = [System.Security.Principal.NTAccount]"$env:userdomain\$env:username"
$acl.SetOwner($me)
$person = [System.Security.Principal.NTAccount]"Administrators"
$access = [System.Security.AccessControl.RegistryRights]"FullControl"
$inheritance = [System.Security.AccessControl.InheritanceFlags]"None"
$propagation = [System.Security.AccessControl.PropagationFlags]"None"
$type = [System.Security.AccessControl.AccessControlType]"Allow"
$rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.RegistryAccessRule($person,$access,$inheritance,$propagation,$type)
$acl.AddAccessRule($rule)
Set-Acl $key $acl
But it fails in "set-acl" command, with the message "Set-Acl : Requested registry access is not allowed."
Any ideas of how to do this? or if it is even possible?
Thank you!

Here is the code to take ownership of a registry key. You first need to set the SeTakeOwnership permission on your process
The enable-privilege function is taken from a posting by Lee Holmes (http://www.leeholmes.com/blog/2010/09/24/adjusting-token-privileges-in-powershell/), but
I've been meaning to get around to tidy it up a bit for my purposes. Perhaps this thread is the motivation I need to do this. I should also note that the PowerShell Community Extensions has cmdlets to work with tokens already.
I also never tested whether you can do the PowerShell native methods of get-acl set-acl if you set the token. I don't have time to play with that now, but if you want to try it and let us know if it works that would be great. The opensubkey method
I'm using I've documented here for changing permissions when you don't have permissions: http://powertoe.wordpress.com/2010/08/28/controlling-registry-acl-permissions-with-powershell/

Missing SSO registry keys

It seems as though when try to configure Netegrity with Plumtree 5.0.2, we're missing the UID and PWD registry keys under SOFTWARE\Plumtree\3.0\Single Sign-on\Password Settings. Does anyone know what these values are supposed to be set to? Or better yet, where is this documented?
Here is the error we're seeing:
2 10-06 19:43:04 Warn Auth Source Providers 3860 3808 SSOAuthTokenGenerator.cpp(109) *** COM exception caught *** Error info: The parameter is incorrect.

Thanks!

The registry is a complicated place and should be approached with the greatest caution. I've looked into it, and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE32 is a frequently used alias. On a 32-bit machine it is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. On a 64 bit machine it is translated
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE32\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
becomes
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Anyway, I suspect the installer isn't getting run with the necessary permissions. Maybe a right click-run as administrator on the installer will do it.
If you didn't download the installer from adobe.com, don't touch it, and download from Adobe instead. There are scams out there.

After effects cs5 crashing - dynamiclinkmanager, Language registry key, Ivideosource

Hey everyone,
I'm running After Effects CS5 (10.0.2 - most up to date) in OSX 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro tower
2x2.66 ghz dual-core Intel Xenon
7gb DDR2
ATI Radeon x1900 XT 512mb

I keep getting the following error messages, most frequent to least

I have also gotten other error messages pertaining to these problems invovling the gaussian blur filter and some pdf error.
After Effects error: crash occured while invoking effect plug-in "Gaussian Blur".
After Effects error: There was an error processing this PDF Document. (1074397201) ( 50 :: 29 )
I am working with AI files, some have been converted to footage, some still AI - continously rasterizing. I even cleared all AI files out to see if they might have been the problem, still crashing. File works fine on PC. Have reinstalled twice. Need to stay on cs5 because I'm working on files with others.
Crashes randomly in a variety of processes such as scrubbing the time, RAM previews, composing, etc. I have tried resetting all preferences, deleting prefs manually, and some open GL things.
Would cs5.5 or 6 work? We have additional licenses for both. Could also upgrade to mountain lion?
Any other solutions or ideas would be greatly appreciated! Trying to get work done for a client and have tried running AE CS5 on OSX 10.6.8 on a macbook pro - getting the same problems, and its not the file (fine on pc).

Well, I see the letters "PDF" in the error message, and that's where I smell the rat.
Illustrator can open PDF's: just choose the page you want for multiple-page PDF's. Then make any necessary changes, and save as an RGB Illustrator document. Backsave to an earlier Illustrator version if you can.
You can even sort the PDF out into separate Illustrator LAYERS -- not shapes or groups -- which can be used in AE as layers. Very handy. Just make sure to create a new layer in Illustrator; most hard-core Illustrator users who aren't used to AE tend to overlook that nifty little feature.

Get "Invalid root in registry key" when call RegWrite function on Wow6432Node

My environment is Windows 2008 R2. I have the local administrator permission and the UAC is turned off.
There is a 32bit application installed on the server and I need to update its registry key value "AuditTime" under this node
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Myapplication
I simply run this just two line vbscript
Set Wshell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Wshell.RegWrite "HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Myapplication\AuditTime",Now(),"REG_SZ"
But I got error as following:
Invalid root in registry key "HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Myapplication\AuditTime"
Then I updated the script to perform a little test. The script is like this
Set Wshell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Wshell.RegWrite "HKLM\Software\Myapplication2\AuditTime",Now(),"REG_SZ"
Wshell.RegWrite "HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Myapplication\AuditTime",Now(),"REG_SZ"
The first RegWrite is successfully run and I got the value written as expected however the second RegWrite failed again with the same error.
So it is clear nothing to do with permission since I have full access. I can create the values under both hive in Regedit.exe.
A little further testing shows the Invalid root error just showing when I tried to update valued under HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node hive.
Any suggestion?

On Windows Server 2008R2 the VBScript works with NO errors and creates the key as expected.

Wshell.RegWrite "HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Myapplication32\AuditTime",Now(),"REG_SZ"
Run from either system it creates a shared key under WoW6432Node on both systems. When created from the 32 bit system the key also shows up under HKLM:\Software. It does not show on the 64 bit system under HKLM:\Software. Youust explicitly
crate the keys under that key. 64 bit process look at both. 32 bit processes only see HKLM:\Software which is why we create the shared keys under WoW6432. The 32 bit systems will work as they always have but 64 bit process MUST look under
WoW6332Node if it wants to see a 32 bit process registry settings. We can als sync the keys if needed.
You do not need to create two sets of keys for one process. The system can do this for you.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ForceLargerFonts Registry Key - where does it go on WIN2K8?

SysAdmin used the ForceLargerFonts registry key on my Windows 2003 server with success
but have had no luck with Win2008 Server.
Using Crystal 11.0.0.1282
Registry Key originally installed when Crystal installed on the Win2008 64 Bit server:
Key Name: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Business Objects\Suite

Hello,
First upgrade to CR XI R2 ( version 11.5 ) for free and use your XI keycode, make sure you have it, we can't give you a new one.
And install both patches before running crystal reports.
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009114712011E/crxir2sp4_fullbuild.exe
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009114412011E/crxir2sp6_incremental.exe
Then add the key to this path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\Export\PDF
Those keys you pasted in are for Crystal Reports 2008 ( version 12 )

AE Crash trying to get the user 'language' registry key

This is a strange crash I get just opening all sorts of different AE projects.
<140735243008352> <ASL.ResourceUtils.GetLanguageIDFromRegistry> <0> Unable to obtain the User 'Language' registry key at: Software\Adobe\After Effects\10.5.1\ Defaulting to 'en_US'.
It happens on a wide variety of projects just on opening them. Almost all are 720p. but some have footage, others are just PSD or other image files (PNG, JPG). Many of them have trapcode particular 2.1/form 2, but some don't.
I have to find another project, open it, and then hope it doesn't cause a crash. If not, then I can go back and open the project that crashed upon opening and it works fine. It may open a few times without problems, and then upon opening it another time, it will crash with the same warning.
I have a MacPro 2.66 GHz quad-core with 16GB RAM running 10.7.1 with an ATI Radeon HD 4870 card with 512MB of memory.
Seems rather bizarre to crash on trying to get a language registry setting, so any ideas for correcting this would be most helpful. Thanks.

I'm having a similar issue with After Effects. I have Adobe After Effects CS5.5 (v.10.5.1) and it keeps crashing when switching between AE and other programs. Here's a video of what's happening with mine.
I don't have any special plug-ins loaded except for what came with the program. OpenGL rendering is turned on and have tried turning it off to see if it make the problem go away and it doesn't make a difference.
Greatly appreciate any assistance I can get on this.

Updating registry key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/KEY_OraDb11g_home

We are installing 11gR2 32 bit on Window XP Professional . During the installation its stucked on given below operation (setup files operation ). I have tried multiple time , but every time it is stucking on same point (setup files operation -- updating registry key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/KEY_OraDb11g_home1') . Not able to install 11gR2 on Window XP.

This appears to be a download or extraction corruption.
-Ensure the download size of the files are correct.
-Don't use Windows native extraction to unzip the files, use something like winzip or 7-zip.
-Ensure that the installation files are stored locally in a directory without spaces, such as c:\temp
-Both zip files need to be extracted into the same directory. If you end up with more that one folder (ie: database), then you did the extraction improperly.
-Do not install into c:\Program Files, install into a directory without spaces such as c:\oracle.
Possible permissions issue:
-Ensure you are an administrator on the system.
-Ensure that the Workstation or Server services are running.
-Turn-off system/virus protection
-Do the installation from the console, not remote desktop.
-Ensure failed installations are properly removed/cleaned.
- run from the command prompt the deinstall utility (Oracle De-install Utility (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (32-bit))
