Hi,

I'm using this script in GPO on Windows XP machine's. I want to read a
registry value to know the last user logon in a machine but the value of
AltDefaultUserName isn't stored in the var.

START /W REGEDIT /E c:\test.reg
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon"
FOR /F "tokens=1* delims==" %%A IN ('TYPE c:\test.reg ^¦ FIND
"AltDefaultUserName"') DO SET uName=%%B
SET uName=%uName:"=%
echo uName

Thanks.

Try this:

<batch>
@echo off

FOR /F "tokens=3" %%A IN ('reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v AltDefaultUserName') DO SET UID=%%A
echo %UID%

:end

</batch>
