Re: BAT file to retrieve Registry Setting

Thanks for the reply Mark.

The key is HKLM\Software\Citrix\ICA Client\ --> ClientName and the
workstations are the infamous Windows 95 with a few Windows 98s.

I am not sure if these machines have reg.exe on them. If it is not a default
in Win 95, then probably not. I understand that BAT scripting is
considerably different than vbScripting, but is there a way to explicitly
say, "Give me the value at HKLM\Software\Citrix\ICA Client\ --> ClientName"?

I plan to setup a BAT file accessible on the network for each person to run
and then format the output in the COMMAND window with a PAUSE at the end so
they can write it down.

COMPUTERNAME - Computer1
CITRIX CLIENT NAME - CitrixClientName1

Ultimately, I would like to handle a likely NULL value or document what it
will look like. I plan to do this with a, hopefully simple, IF EXIST.

Thanks again Mark.
