I have created a simple task in BF to import a registry key to assets in my company - there are 1500. I export the registry key to my C: drive and imported it using the BF registry task wizard. When I run the task it fails eventhough it looks very straight forward. When I do a manual import of the reg key outside of BF it is successful. I have attached my relevance and action script. I am hoping someone will be able to notice what I may be doing that causes the failure. Thanks!

Where does it fail? Downloading the file or running regedit? What branches are you trying to edit with the reg file?
If it fails during the download, then make sure the file is in the BigFix cache (should have been imported from the wizard).
Check that you can download the .tmp file from your client machine
If it fails during the regedit command it may be a permissions issue and you may need to use “runascurrentuser.exe” (i.e. you are trying to edit HKEY_CURRENT_USER branch)
Which hive is “Passlogix Registryreg.tmp” modifying? HKLM? HKCU?
As it says
here
:
“HKEY_CURRENT_USER values for the logged in user cannot be set because the BigFix Client runs as the SYSTEM account. You can set specific user valuse by using the HKEY_USERS registry branch.”
