How do I import IE11 registry file in Post-installation Tasks ?
I have exported my desired IE11 settings to a registry file called "IE11config.reg" for my "Gold Image" of Win10 LTSB 2016 v1607. I would like to import the file as a Post-installation Task. What is the correct procedure and/or commands to accomplish this ? We are currently on K2000 v6.0.425.

Depending on the key being HKLM or HKCU, you can easily use this command:
regedit /s RegFileName.reg
Just make sure to scrub the REG file of anything specific to the user account, computer, domain or IP config. Otherwise you can break a lot of stuff. Had one client years ago distribute a REG key which contained the IP address of the test computer and next morning, everyone logged in and got the same IP address - no one would work for hours!

OK...the issue is when the Post-installation Task launches the task to import the IE11 registry file, it cannot locate REGEDIT.EXE; it's looking for it in the same folder where the IE11config.reg file is located.
<WorkingDirectory>%systemdrive%\KACE\Applications\305</WorkingDirectory>. How do I get REGEDIT.EXE in that same folder ? - CGonza 5 years ago -
I created the following BATCH Post-installation Task:
COPY C:\Windows\regedit.exe C:\KACE\Applications\305
regedit.exe /s IE11config.reg
I will confirm shortly is settings were retained... - CGonza 5 years ago-
Best not to copy files within the local hard drive if you don't have to. Try using "%WINDIR%\regedit.exe /s IE11config.reg" as the commandline so you don't have to copy the file. - vjaneczko 5 years ago

This was the ONLY successful way I could get the registry merge to occur in K2000...
BAT script:
COPY C:\Windows\regedit.exe C:\KACE\Applications\309
regedit.exe /s IE11config.reg
It works; I just have to keep track if any changes are made which will change the directory name; currently #309...it was #305 last time.
1) regedit /s IE11config.reg
2)COPY C:\Windows\regedit.exe C:\KACE\Applications\305
regedit.exe /s IE11config.reg
3) %WINDIR%\regedit.exe /s IE11config.reg
4) reg import IE11config.reg
ALL have stated they could not locate the file regedit.
All these commands work in a CMD screen on my local desktop but not in K2000...WHAT AM I MISSING ??? - CGonza 5 years ago
