XCLN: ODK:Some Hex Values Not Accepted for DWORD Registry Entry

• Microsoft Outlook 98 Deployment Kit

SYMPTOMS

When assigning a hexadecimal value to a DWORD registry entry using the Outlook Deployment Kit (ODK), alpha characters are stripped from the entry. For example, a value of "1E", which represents the decimal number 30, is added to the registry as "1".

CAUSE

This is currently a limitation of the Outlook Deployment Kit and the way registry values are entered for DWORD data types.

WORKAROUND

Hexadecimal values must be entered as all numeric values. In the example above, hexadecimal values of 19 or 20 can be entered, representing the decimal values of 25 and 32 respectively.
