Lenovo System Update Solution (Deployment Guide) - Manual (Page 43)

Attention: The start.reg file will be deleted after the first execution of System
Update. To make the start.reg settings the default settings that are restored in the
event the registry settings ever get corrupted, rename the start.reg file to
default.reg and save it into the following path:
c:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\default
Configuring multiple repository locations using the start.reg file
The following example provides the start.reg file configuration when using
multiple repositories:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\System Update
\Preferences\UserSettings\General]
"DisplayInformationScreen"="YES"
"DisplayLicenseNotice"="YES"
"DisplayLicenseNoticeSU"="YES"
"AskBeforeClosing"="YES"
"UNCMaxAttempts"="2"
"DebugEnable"="NO"
"ExtrasTab"="YES"
"IgnoreLocalLicense"="NO"
"RepositoryLocation1"="SUPPORTCENTER"
"RepositoryLocation2"="%ANYDRV%\\SystemUpdate3_x\\"
"RepositoryLocation3"="\\\\Server_X\\TVSU_repository\\"
"IgnoreRMLicCRCSize"="YES"
"NotifyInterval"="300"
System Update version control with start.reg
If you want to control the version of System Update available to your users, you
can use your network repository to store specific versions of System Update.
Storing packages locally will enable the System Update application to search for
upgrades within your network repository. System Update version control is
compatible with System Update 3.02 and future releases. To configure the start.reg
file for System Update version control, complete the following steps:
1.
Download SSClientCommon.zip and the Administrator Tools package from the
following Lenovo Web site:http://www.lenovo.com/support/site.wss/
document.do?lndocid=TVAN-ADMIN#tvsu.
2. Create a folder to be used as a repository that will store update packages.
Note: Set the access permissions of the new repository folder to read only
access for end users. Administrator functions will require read and write access.
3. Extract the SSClientCommon.zip file to your repository folder.
4. Run the Administrator Tools package. When you run the Administrator Tools
package, the start.reg file will be placed in the following directory path:
C:\SWTOOLS\TOOLS\Z703_Admin003
5. Edit the "ServerName" string in the start.reg file by replacing the existing http
server name with the path of your repository folder. The following example
shows the default settings:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\System Update
\Preferences\UCSettings\HTTPSHelloSettings]
"RetryLimit"="0"
"RetryWaitTime"="0"
"ServerName"="https://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/agent/"
"BlockSize"="4096"
"Domains"=hex(7):2e,00,6c,00,65,00,6e,00,6f,00,76,00,6f,00,2e,00,63,00,6f,00,\
6d,00,00,00,2e,00,69,00,62,00,6d,00,2e,00,63,00,6f,00,6d,00,00,00,00,00
The following example shows the "ServerName" setting that has been changed
to a repository path:
