Server URL Registry modification


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have been working with Citrix to make an install package and first let me just say it has been a pain. All my script is supposed to do is check the version of citrix and either uninstall it if it is older or point to the correct server if the version is current. In order to do this though I have to modify the registry. Now I have no idea why my script will not write to the registry. This is so frusterating, because I was waiting for ever for Citrix to even get the server up to test. Any extra eyes would be appreciated. Any thoughts? Thank you.

Exactly where is your script failing, and what error checking have you done? You say:

 

 Now I have no idea why my script will not write to the registry

 

but don't show any error checking to help yourself (or us) determine the point of failure. Help us help you :)

Thats just it there are no syntax erros that are shown. I run the Syntax Check Prod and this will tell me if i have errors. Mine seems to be a logic error. I am not sure why this will not execute the registry edit. THERE ARE NO ERRORS COMMING BACK. This is why I am confused why the changes are not beeing written.

Ok, but you STILL NEED TO DO ERROR CHECKING. You're writing out to your log file already, why not include an error checking statement after your RegWrites?

83.RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE \Citrix\PNAgent","ServerURL", "REG_SZ", "http://SMOCitrix.com/Citrix/PNAgent/Config.xml")

  If @error Then ;write error message to log file

Return Value
Success: Returns 1. 
Failure: Returns 0 if error writing registry key or value. 
 @error can be set to following values : 
 1 if unable to open requested key 
 2 if unable to open requested main key 
 3 if unable to remote connect to the registry 
 -1 if unable to open requested value 
 -2 if value type not supported

Good addition, I always forget RegWrite is a little squirrely. The larger point stands, however; error checking needs to be done to see where the failure comes in.

You first need to narrow it down to which RegWrite fails first. Then, try a script where all you're doing is that function.

i made a script that only writes to the registry with this one line of code. Still the same result :wacko:

RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE \Citrix\PNAgent","ServerURL", "REG_SZ", "http://SMOCitrix.com/Citrix/PNAgent/Config.xml")

 

I see a space between SOFTWARE and Citrix. Is that in your script, or just how you typed it?

What does this return?

$rc = RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\PNAgent","ServerURL", "REG_SZ", "http://SMOCitrix.com/Citrix/PNAgent/Config.xml")
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $rc = ' & $rc & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
