Example in Windows NT Resource Kit For REGINI Does Not Work

• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5 and 3.51
• Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5 and 3.51
• Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit versions 3.5 and 3.51

SYMPTOMS

Regini is a character-based batch file that you can use to add keys to the Windows NT Registry by specifying a Registry script. If you use the example included in "Help for Windows NT Resource Kit\Registry Tools\RegIni.EXE: Registry Change by script," the respective registry value do not appear in the Registry. You receive one of two different responses when you run Regini:

  C:\users\default>regini srv.ini
  00 0000  KeyName: \registry\machine\system\currentcontrolset\services
  \lanmanserver\parametersCreated value for Key: \registry\machine\system
  \currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\parameters\DiskSpaceThreshhold =
  'REG_DWORD 0x00000000'

  -or-

  C:\users\default>regini srv.ini
  00 0000  KeyName: \registry\machine\system\currentcontrolset\services
  \lanmanserver\parameters

The second response indicates the operation was not successful and that the value was not added to registry.

NOTE: In the above examples, the "srv.ini" file is the name of the script you created. You can use any filename, with or without extension.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when the text editor you used to create your script does not put a carriage return at the end of the last line.

RESOLUTION

Open your script and make sure there is a carriage return at the end of each line.
