Figured I'd toss this out there, google isn't helping. First off, I'm not familiar with Windows scripting, however the following should work.
My aim is to change a parameter in the server's registry to reflect its own name. I don't have the reg.exe to use. Example 1: echo "Client_Name=%computername%" displays: "Client_Name=THAMES" Example 2: echo "Client_Name=%computername%" > test.txt test.txt shows "Client_Name=THAMES" Example 3: echo "Client_Name=%computername%" >> test.txt test.txt shows: "Client_Name=THAMES" "Client_Name=THAMES" Example 4: Appending to an existing registry file with several entries called test.reg. echo "Client_Name=%computername%" >> test.reg test.reg shows (at the end of file) a bunch of garbled characters. What's going on? -alex
