If you are Windows and above and don't need REG_MULTI_SZ updates, I would go for WSH (pretty simple model). If you need to do more complex stuffs, I would use WMI (which is actually used from WSH as it is the scripting engine). /Alain -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harding, Devon Sent: Monday, October 17, 2005 9:45 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Kix to VBS Which method is preferred, WSH or WMI? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alain Lissoir Sent: Monday, October 17, 2005 12:01 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Kix to VBS Look at http://www.lissware.net, Volume 1, Sample 1.01 to 1.25 - WSHScript.vbs, which uses a series of functions. In this list of functions, you will find two generic routines to play with: ReadRegistryFunction.vbs and WriteRegistryFunction.vbs. With these two, you are all set. I reproed the ReadRegistry one below. Note that from the WSH object model, RegWrite method does not support REG_MULTI_SZ. If you need to update REG_MULTI_SZ, you need to use the WMI model. For this see http://www.lissware.net, Vol 2, Sample 3.03 to 3.09 - WMIRegistry.wsf (Second code exerpt below). HTH.
