Modifying a REG_DWORD under HKEY_USERS

I have a task with the following in the Action script and it fails every time I run it:

regset "[user key of current user\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\PhishMeOutlookReporter.AddinModule]" "LoadBehavior"=00000003

The relevance I have in it works fine:

exists values "LoadBehavior" whose (it as string = "2") of keys "Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\PhishMeOutlookReporter.AddinModule" of (current user keys (logged on users) of registry)

Any tips would be appreciated.

I have also tried this, which also fails:

parameter "sid" = "{component string of sid of security account ("Corporate\" & name of current user)}"

regset "[HKEY_USERS\{parameter "sid"}\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\PhishMeOutlookReporter.AddinModule]" "LoadBehavior"=dword:00000003

Not sure if it’s your only problem, but you’d at least need to use curly brackets to invoke the Relevance substitution…else it’s looking for the literal-string reg key “[user key of current user\Software\Microsoft.…”
like

regset “[{user key of current user}\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\PhishMeOutlookReporter.AddinModule]” “LoadBehavior”=00000003

On this one, I think you’re just missing a backslash after HKEY_USERS. As written it evaluates as
regset “[HKEY_USERSS-1-5-21-xxxxx\Software.…”

Thank you Jason! Adding the curly brackets to invoke the Relevance did the trick. I also added to the end =dword:0000003

Thanks!

FYI, it is generally better to affect HKCU through use of Local GPO so that it can affect all users even if no user is currently logged in.
