Vbscript to query a registry key and pass to a batch file
Posted on 2011-02-22
Hi,
I need a script that will be able to query a reg_sz key in the registry within HKLM.
I would then like the vbscript to call another Windows Batch file and pass the key as a variable into this script. I assume I can then use %1 within the batch script.
Thanks

On Error Resume Next
strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Script Host\Settings" 'give reg path
strValueName = "TrustPolicy" 'give key to get
strComputer = "."
Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
dim shell
set shell=createobject("wscript.shell")
Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & _
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
oReg.GetStringValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,strValue
'WScript.Echo "strvalue" & strvalue
shell.run "test.bat " & strvalue
set shell=nothing
you can test the following to hide the batch script
On Error Resume Next
strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Window
strValueName = "TrustPolicy" 'give key to get
strComputer = "."
Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
dim shell
set shell=createobject("wscrip
Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv"
oReg.GetStringValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyP
'WScript.Echo "strvalue" & strvalue
shell.run "test.bat " & strvalue,0
set shell=nothing
On Error Resume Next
strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Window
strValueName = "TrustPolicy" 'give key to get
strComputer = "."
Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
dim shell
set shell=createobject("wscrip
Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv"
oReg.GetStringValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyP
'WScript.Echo "strvalue" & strvalue
shell.run "test.bat " & strvalue,0
