Antidote with Windows Vista

For 64bit Windows Vista the registry location is HKLM\SOFTWARE\
WOW6432Node\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\ADM Repository The repository
path for the mailbox is set in the registry at the following location:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\ADM

must have elevated admin privileges, otherwise the values 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.
