Don't know if this would be better off in a Windows 7 board or not, but here
goes.

We're rolling out Windows 7 with SCCM and want to ensure that no matter
what, the nic adapter settings are the way we want them. So I'm using one of
the standard vbscripts found via goggle to enumerate through nics and set the
registry value for PnPCapabilities. http://www.jasemccarty.com/blog/?p=89 is
one of the many sites with the same script; I don't know who originally wrote
it.

Anyway, the part where the script sets the value for the PnPCapabilities
entry simply isn't working. I open up regedit and go down to my card's key,
then delete the entry for PnPCapabilities. I have the following two lines in
my script:

objReg.SetDWORDValue
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath&strDeviceID,"PnPCapabilitiesTest",56

objReg.SetDWORDValue
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath&strDeviceID,"PnPCapabilities",56

I'm running the script as administrator(it even says so in the dos window's
title). The script correctly creates the PnPCapabilitiesTest and assigns it
the value of hex 38, decimal 56, so I know I'm running it as a user that can
create and modify entries under the CurrentControlSet key. It appears to
create the PnPCapabilities key, but the value is set to 0. If I change the
value by hand to 38, it sticks. I suppose it is possible that something in
the power settings is resetting it after the script runs, but if that were
the case, why doesn't it reset it when I change the value by hand?

Any ideas on this one?

Thanks!

Did you try setting the data manually? If you can't then this is probably
not a scripting but a Win7 issue.
