Changing registry value in Task Sequence

Question

_{Friday, October 10, 2014 7:48 PM}

I am trying to change the following key using SCCM 2012 after a java install but it wont take the changes. If I run this from a start - run it works fine. If I push this as a program it works fine. Here is the command line I added to the SCCM 2012 task sequence Command line section :  cmd.exe /c REG add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\10.65.2" /v UseNewJavaPlugin /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

Try this, we use it successfully in ours. You dont need cmd.exe /c because reg is actually an executable, reg.exe.

%windir%\system32\reg.exe add HKLM\Software\OSD /t REG_SZ /v DeployedBy /d "%ImagedByUser%" /f

First (as mentioned by Daniel already) you don't need cmd.exe -- it's an exe so launching it from the command shell is unnecessary.

Next, where in the task sequence is this step executing?

Is the system a 64-bit OS?

What exactly does smsts.log say about the execution of this step?
