HKLM\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\Rescue

and

When

running

any

of

the

Antidote

commands

in

Windows

Vista

(32

or

64

bit)

you

must

have

elevated

admin

privileges,

otherwise

the

will

go

to

an

incorrect

registry

location.

Repository

The

repository

function

runs

on

each

system

and

periodically

checks

for

new

messages

from

the

administrator.

It

checks

at

a

scheduled

time

interval

or

at

the

occurrence

of

several

interesting

events

(for

example,

boot,

resume

from

suspend

or

hibernate,

detection

of

a

new

network

adapter,

and

assignment

of

a

new

IP

address).

The

repository

function

looks

for

messages

in

a

set

of

directories,

in

a

Windows

share

location,

such

as

\\machine\share\directory,

at

HTTP

URLs,

and

at

FTP

URLs

.

If

more

than

one

message

is

found,

it

processes

them

in

“directory

sort

by

name”

order.

Only

one

message

is

processed

at

a

time.

A

message

is

only

processed

successfully

once.

If

processing

a

message

fails,

by

default,

it

is

not

attempted

again,

but

retrying

on

failure

can

be

specified

in

the

message

itself.

A

message

must

be

packaged

by

an

administrator

before

being

placed

in

a

directory

to

be

processed

by

the

repository

function.

To

create

the

package,

the

administrator

places

all

of

the

files

that

constitute

the

message

into

a

directory

(or

its

subdirectories).

One

of

the

files

must

be

named

go.rrs

the

primary

command

script.

The

administrator

can

optionally

use

a

signature

key

for

this

message,

but

if

used

the

key

must

be

available

to

all

of

the

target

systems.

The

repository

function

checks

the

package

for

integrity,

checks

the

signature

if

supplied

and

unpack

all

of

the

files

into

a

local

directory

before

executing

go.rrs.

The

primary

command

script

file

(go.rrs)

follows

the

syntax

of

a

Windows

command

file.

It

might

contain

legitimate

Windows

commands

and

any

of

the

commands

listed

in

the

following

section.

Also,

a

Python

command

interpreter

is

installed

as

part

of

the

Rescue

and

Recovery

environment,

so

Python

scripts

might

also

be

called

from

the

go.rrs

script.

At

the

end

of

execution

of

the

script,

all

files

unpacked

from

the

message

is

deleted,

so

if

files

are

required

after

the

script

exits

(for

example,

installing

a

patch

on

reboot)

the

files

must

be

moved

out

of

the

message

directory.
