Re: Help with registry edits not being set

Thanks Terry :) The weird thing is it seems to write the keys sometimes and
others not? Does SMS Installer use regedit to edit the registry or
regedt32? The issue I am seeing seems to apply only to 2000 machines which
cannot write Multi-SZ keys using regedit. Thanks for the other helpful
tips, I will be sure to incorporate them from this point forward.
