I'm trying to make a registry adjustment on my remote endpoints, and am limited in my options as the majority of our laptops aren't on the same network as I am. I was excited when I found the "Advanced" options under Agent Commands. Three of these looked viable, however I couldn't get any of them to work.
 
Run a DOS command: 
 
reg.exe add "HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionImage File Execution Optionsgwx.exe" /v Debugger /t REG_SZ /d "C:WindowsSystem32systray.exe" /f 
 
Run a registry command:
 
add "HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionImage File Execution Optionsgwx.exe" /v Debugger /t REG_SZ /d "C:WindowsSystem32systray.exe" /fDownload and run a file:
 
  • Have Webroot download and run a BAT file containing the DOS command above.
 
When the command is run locally on a computer, it works great. Has anyone had any success via any of the methods above?

Try sending a scan command right after the agent command. Sometimes that is necessary to force the command to go through.
