Step 2 - Customizing the programs
Customize the settings for System Update with Active Directory or the registry. To
customize settings using the registry, create a batch file to install System Update
with the configured start.reg file using the following command:
START /WAIT setup.exe -s -a /s /v" /qn" /L1033
xcopy start.reg "C:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\start.reg" /Y
Note:
To save the customized settings of the start.reg file as the default for System
Update, copy the contents of the customized start.reg file into the default.reg file
and save it as the default.reg file. Default settings are restored in the unlikely event
that the registry keys are corrupted. For example,
START /WAIT setup.exe -s -a /s /v" /qn" /L1033
xcopy start.reg "C:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\start.reg" /Y
rename "C:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\Default\default.reg"
"C:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\Default\default.reg.bak"
xcopy start.reg "C:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\Default\start.reg"
/Y
rename "C:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\Default\start.reg"
"C:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\Default\default.reg"
