byteme Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Hi all. I am new here, and this is my first post. I am trying to write a script that will allow me to install software as an administrator without logging people off. When the installation is complete, some software requires a reboot and login with an admin account. I have figured out how to do some regwrites to set the autologin for an administrative account. My problem is we have the legal notice that comes up after the ctrl\alt\del screen, and before the actual login screen. I need a way to remove something from the registry so that will not come up so it will be a complete login without any interaction. My script sets everything back up the way it was in the registry so that it is a one time autologin. Any help on how to disable that legal notice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all! p.s.- this is a GREAT product. I have been able to automate so many of my daily administrative duties...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted February 3, 2004 Developers Share Posted February 3, 2004 these are the registry keys you need to remove to get rid of these Legal notice screens: ;optional: Remove Manual Banner at logon RegDelete("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogOn", "LegalNoticeCaption") RegDelete("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogOn", "LegalNoticeText") ;optional: Remove Banner AD Policy at logon ... RegDelete("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system\","legalnoticecaption") RegDelete("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system\", "legalnoticetext") You can do a regwrite when finished... ps. These are AutoIt3 commands...

byteme Posted February 3, 2004 Author Share Posted February 3, 2004 Ok, is there any way of doing this with the AutoIt version 2? I see that regdelete is in version 2 also. whatever I delete must be put back in at the end of my script. Is there a way to copy the keys, then delete them, and have autoit put them back in after the reboot and login is complete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted February 3, 2004 Developers Share Posted February 3, 2004 Didn't test it this but think someting like this should work.. Before the reboot do:RegRead, kv, REG_SZ, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\WinLogOn, LegalNoticeCaption IniWrite, kv, c:\\mypath\\myfile.ini, mysection, mykey IniDelete, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\WinLogOn, LegalNoticeCaption To set it back to the original value:IniRead, kv, c:\\mypath\\myfile.ini, mysection, mykey RegWrite,REG_SZ, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\WinLogOn, LegalNoticeCaption, kv And this ofcourse for all keys you want to reset.... hope this helps SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.

Frontalabotomy Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I don't know if the previous help gave any insight, but I do have something to add if it didn't. The registry key you are deleting is for the local machines copy of the legal notice caption ONLY!!! NOTE: if you are on a domain this may not be comming from the local machine, and is set at the domain level. Just an FYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byteme Posted February 11, 2004 Author Share Posted February 11, 2004 Hi all. I did try the above mentioned regedits, but that still didn't work. I found that there were two other registry settings that needed deleting, so after running the following it worked gread: Regdelete, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\currentversion\\policies\\system, legalnoticecaption Regdelete, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\currentversion\\policies\\system, legalnoticetext then I dumped a script into the administrative run once so that after it logged in automatically it replaced the two keys above. This has worked perfect for me. Thanks for all of the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
