ZAK Client Setup Does Not Create TEMP Folders Correctly

ID: Q222967

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Zero Administration Kit for Windows NT Workstation 4.0

SYMPTOMS

The Microsoft Zero Administration Kit (ZAK) for Windows NT 4.0 Workstation does not create the TEMP folders correctly when you are installing clients. This can lead to problems with setting up programs, printing, and other issues related to the location of the TEMP folder.

CAUSE

The Newtemp.reg file creates registry values that are REG_SZ data types instead of REG_EXPAND_SZ data types.

RESOLUTION

To work around this issue, modify the Newtemp.reg file in the I386\Scripts folder on your distribution share as follows:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment]
"temp"=hex(2): 25,53,79,73,74,65,6d,52,6f,6f,74,25,5c,54,45,4d,50
"tmp"=hex(2): 25,53,79,73,74,65,6d,52,6f,6f,74,25,5c,54,45,4d,50
