Does anyone have a Fixlet to change this property in Windows XP ? “Use this connection’s DNS suffix in DNS registration”
Thanks

You can apply this globally by setting:
regset "
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
" “RegistrationEnabled”=DWORD:00000000
(imported comment written by gjeremia91)
You can also apply it to specific interfaces. This example will set it for the interface named “Wireless Network Connection” (Action:)
action parameter query
"regenabledonoff" with description
"Enable or Disable DNS Adapter Registration? (0=0ff, 1=On" with
default
"0" delete __appendfile delete dns.reg appendfile Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 appendfile appendfile
{(
"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\" & it & "]%0d%0a%22RegistrationEnabled%22=DWORD:0000000
" & parameter "regenabledonoff
" & "%0a%0d%0a%0d
") of (names of keys whose (exists keys "connection
" whose (value "name
" of it as string = "Wireless Network Connection
") of it) of keys of key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\
" of registry)} move __appendfile dns.reg waithidden
"{pathname of windows folder}\regedit.exe" /s
"{pathname of current site}\dns.reg"(imported comment written by gjeremia91)
My bad, I gave the info for turning on/off the register DNS. If I get a few secs I’ll look a the other setting.

Ok, same keys, different value (RegisterAdapterName):
// Get Input
action parameter query “regadaptonoff” with description “Register Suffix ? (0=No, 1=Yes)” with default "0"
action parameter query “adaptername” with description “Adapter Name (case insensetive)” with default “Local Area Connection”
// Check the Input
continue if {exists parameter “regaqdaptonoff” as integer and parameter “regadaptonoff” as integer < 2 and parameter “regadaptonoff” as integer >=0}
// Build the registry file
delete __appendfile
delete dns.reg
appendfile Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
appendfile
appendfile {("%0d%0a%22RegisterAdapterName%22=DWORD:0000000" & parameter “regadaptonoff” & “%0a%0d%0a%0d”) of (names of keys whose (exists keys “connection” whose (value “name” of it as string as lowercase contains %22" & parameter adaptername & “%22”) of it) of keys of key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network” of registry)}
move __appendfile dns.reg
// Update the registry
waithidden “{pathname of windows folder}\regedit.exe” /s “{pathname of current site}\dns.reg”
just creates a registry file with the key and value=data settings of keys that match “adaptername” and sets the data value to dword:0000000 (00000001 or 00000000)

Thank you … is there a way to wild card the reg keys ? there are always 3 different keys in that Hive .
(imported comment written by emock91)
Thank you for your help, I see that it gives you the option to set the reg key to 0 or 1. But the action fails ,
(imported comment written by gjeremia91)
which option did you take? The regset or the regedit ?
can you provide the client log entry showing the failure it’s probably a typo on my side

there is a typo in the continue if statement. “regaqdaptonoff” should be “regadaptonoff” (also updated to include the lack of “of action” as pointed out by jesse below. I have confirmed that it is
NOT
necessary, but it does make it more complete.)
there was also a typo in another area. I appologize, I didn’t have time to test the code:
here’s an update:
// Get Input
action parameter query “regadaptonoff” with description “Register Suffix ? (0=No, 1=Yes)” with default "0"
action parameter query “adaptername” with description “Adapter Name (case insensetive)” with default “Local Area Connection”
// Check the Input

Try this for the continue if line:
continue if {exists parameter “regaqdaptonoff” whose (exists it as integer AND it as integer = 1) of action}
The key is that you were missing ‘of action’ but I also cleaned up the expression a little.

Hey there , it seems to fail at the last part
waithidden “{pathname of windows folder}\regedit.exe” /s “{pathname of current site}\dns.reg”
Thanks

“pathname of current site” should be “pathname of client folder of current site”
(imported comment written by gjeremia91)
another silly mistake. I’m writing blind because I’m re-building my test install of BigFix, making testing of whatever I write a little more difficult.
