Hello I have problems getting a OSD TS condition based on registry to work. I have configured a TS with the following: Root key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Key: System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters Condition: equals Value name: DynamicSiteName Value type: REG_SZ Value: TESTSITE I was expecting a match using these settings, however it doesn't work. Could it be that it only supports numbers? Or maybe it doesn't support query to System? Thanks. /Ragnar

Can you please export the registry hive just for that key, and then post it here? Also, please do the same for you task sequence - export it and post it here.

Hi I have exported the registry key in question and copied in the particular TS step. Thanks!

Those all look correct. Can you please look at the SMSTS.log file on the client that executed the TS? You should see log entries that look like: KeyPath = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\ParametersValue = DynamicSiteNameType = REG_SZData = TESTSITEOperator = equalsExpand a string: equalsExpand a string: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\ParametersExpand a string: DynamicSiteNameExpand a string: REG_SZExpand a string: TESTSITEComparing registry value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters\DynamicSiteName with string TESTSITEThe registry condition expression is evaluated to be TRUE I have a suspicion that the value of DynamicSiteName is something else at the time that the TS ran.

Any ideas? /Ragnar

The problem is that the TS engine could not read the value of"DynamicSiteName" from the registry.

Hi I ran this TS on a different but I got the exact same results. The first time I tried it I deployed Windows XP TS on a VMware Server virtual machine, the second time I tested it I used a Microsoft VirtualPC 2007 virtual machine.

Hi Could someone give this problem a try? /Ragnar

I am running into the exact issue (SCCM07 R2) any resolution to this issue, I am trying to identify the site to point the migration to a local store for user state, and the DynamicSiteName is my key! Thansk!
