Replace Registry (REG_SZ) keys at first login with current OS name?
Hello,
I need to have a script run (at first login) after a new OS is built that does the following:
1) Delete the following two REG_SZ keys (located here):
HKLM\Software\VERITAS\NetB
Keys are:
'Browser' and
'Client_Name'
^^ These two keys contain a text value for the 'old' pre-image OS name
2) I then need to re-add these keys with the 'new' current system (OS) name (guessing by passing in %COMPUTERNAME% somehow)?
If there is a way to replace the current value of these keys instead of deleting / re-adding that works as well.
Operating Systems this will be used on:
Windows 2003 Server Standard (32-bit and 64-bit)
Windows 2003 Server Enterprise (32-bit and 64-bit)
Thank you in advance!!

Perfect solutions, Canali -- thank you very much.
In terms of the two different options -- would you recommend one as being more resilient than another (i.e. more portable between W2K and W2K3) or is it a wash?
I personally liked the last one because it seemed to achieve the result with less complexity...
Thanks, again.
