RE: runrmtcmd and the registry

["Angela Wawrzaszek" <awawrzaszek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The application uses both the local machine and the current user
directories but that said we finally figured it out.   Since
administrator is always signed on so we ran the job as administrator and
forced the current user key.  Must be it only uses the current user
directory when called remotely.

Thankyou for all your help.

Angela,

I could be wrong.  But I don't believe that the HKEY_Current_User should
be
used by anything but an interactive application as it refers to the
Currently logged on user.  Which explains why the job runs fine if the
user
is logged on.

I'd put the registry info in another subtree, HKEY_Local_Machine
perhaps?


HTH,
Charles
