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: Chapter 3.
