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 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"
