HI Leythos,

I was wondering if you might be able to help me with a question. I need
to know where in the registry on a XP machine the setting for schedule
auto update definitiions is kept? I am writing a script to automate the
moving of as many user/computer settings as possible from old machine to
new and I need to know from where in the registry to export it. The SAV
Corp versions we run are 8.1 and 10.

Let me apologize to the rest of the group for making an off topic post.
I have been searching for days for this infomation and having no luck.
What is left of the Symantec newsgroups seems hopeless and no luck
with web or usenet searches.

Thanks in advance!

Narrowed down the field of who you may get answers from, haven't you?

Hope this helps. Let us know.

Hi Wesley,

Well it is not my intention to "Narrow down the field of who I may get
answers from", but just to make sure I get the attention of the person
who seems to be a Symantec Antivirus guru.

Please, if you or anyone else here who reads this has expertise to lend,
I'm all ears!

Thanks for your reply, Leythos, but we don't have a server, we just run
the SAV programs stand alone on the workstations, which is why I am
trying to find this setting in the registry as I am trying to come up
with a custom way here to move these settings from an old machine to a
new one.

Thanks again for atleast checking!

Too bad you totally restricted your list of potential
problem-solvers to the fantastic and highly competent
Mr. Leythos. He's a giant among mere mortals. (Grin.)

It's likely that others in the forum who know the exact
answer to your query were put-off because you made
it clear in your subject that you didn't seek their assistance.

Next time, type neutral subject headers which describe
your problem. You might get 5-10 terrific responses.
In example: "Schedule Auto Update Definitions in Registry."

You are the head Symancrap Cheerleader. And that you know little about
how it works speaks volumes!

Another case of you talking about something you really know little
about!

LOL! Um, if you no nothing about the internal working of
Norton/Symantec AV, then how do you know it/they are such a great
product that you get your panties in a twist anytime someone say,
Symantec Sucks!?

For all you know it could be a virtual viral entity! (And trying to
remove Symancrap off of a computer can be more difficult than removing a
virus!)

As for proving you wrong, I get you to prove yourself wrong in nearly
every thread we cross paths!

will do so , Uncle Joe.
