Task Sequence Command Line Delete Registry Error

[thoffman]

This is a little off topic from my last post, was wanted to start a new one.

 

I have some 64bit keys in the registry that need deleted, and it seems like since the SCCM client launches in 32bit mode it can't handle the call to a 64bit cmd during the script to delete the keys that I believe are 64bit keys.(i'm guessing these are 64 bit calls, I can't see any other reason why it won't delete these keys) The script deletes most of the keys except for these.

 

I tried running the following commands in a custom task sequence with *Disable 64-bit file system redirection" turned off without any luck. (there are multiple keys in the tree i'm trying to delete, do I need to delete each individual key instead of the tree?)

 

reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\TrendMicro /f

reg.exe delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\TrendMicro

cmd.exe /c reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\TrendMicro /f

 

I found the following for some 64 bit cmd call functions, but couldn't figure out how to make these work in windows much less sccm.

 

%windir%\syswow64\cmd.exe /c %windir%\sysnative\reg.exe

 

If I run a call to reg.exe and refer to a .reg file will this work? Not sure why this is giving me so much trouble.

I figured it out! I added this to my batch file and the batch file it calls on and it finally successfully removed trend. I need to do more testing, but I think it finally works.
