Custom Tools - Editing the registry

Avatar
Muncher Woods

I have a batch file that edits the registry and works just fine if I deploy it to a computer in PDQ Deploy. 

What I want to do is make it a custom tool in PDQ Inventory. But when I right click a computer and run the tool it edits the registry on the computer that I'm Using PDQ Inventory from not from the computer I've selected.  Below is what I have.  What am I doing wrong? 

cmd.exe /s /c ""C:\Users\Public\Documents\Admin Arsenal\PDQ Deploy\Repository\Scripts\RemoveAutoLogon.bat""

    Yep, Tools run on the PDQ console machine. You have to use variables like $(Computer:TARGET), but the command you're running has to support remote operations.

    I don't quite get how to do that. Can you point me in the direction of some reference material I could look at? Is the variable a function of PDQ Inventory or CMD?

    Colby, thank you so much for letting me know about this! I've been using the beta for the last couple of days and the tools I've made have saved a ton of time. Really love this feature.
