I am trying to disable Page_Transitions in my customers registry - 2000 of them. I get a not relevant retuern when I run the task on my test stations. My relevance and action scripts are as follows. Any help do get it running is greatly appreciated. I am trying to set my dword value to 0 to disable page transitions in in IE7.

(name of operating system = “WinXP” OR name of operating system = “WinXP-2003”) AND (exists value “Page_Transitions” whose (“0” != it as string as hexadecimal) of key “HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main” of native registry)

action uses wow64 redirection false

delete __appendfile

delete wizardedit.reg

appendfile Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

appendfile

appendfile

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

appendfile “Page_Transitions”=dword:00000000

copy __appendfile temp.reg

Your relevance queries HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18 from the registry, but this refers to the SYSTEM account and not the actual user that is logged in (or any other user profile on that machine, for that matter). I’m guessing that this is why your action is not relevant on any of the clients you are deploying it to. Here is a post on how to properly use relevance to query HKEY_CURRENT_USER: http://forum.bigfix.com/viewtopic.php?id=1909
