In the parameter when using the automatic deployment with a login script, one of the parameters is the hotkey number. According to the manual:
"...Once SysAid is deployed across your network, users will be able to launch the system by clicking a hotkey, for example F11. However login script does not understand F11, it identifies a location of a key within the keyboard from the registry and assigns it according to its numeric placement (e,g. F11 has a value of 122)..."
My question is, which would be the value if I want to use CTRL+F2 ???
Here is a few steps to find the value you need to put after the /hotkey switch.
On the machine with the administrator tool installed:
1: Open the deployment tool, go to edit -> settings
2: change the hotkey to what you want
3: deploy to one client machine
On the client machine
4: Confirm that the hotkey works
5: Open regedit and browse to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ilient\Agent]
5: find the DWORD "HotKey" and open it.
6: make sure that you're looking at the decimal value, and not the hexadecimal value.
This decimal value is what you need to put after the /hotkey switch in the login script. It will set it to the value you specified in step 2
Like Haim said in his post simply go to the Deploy SysAid tool, click Edit > Settings, set the hotkey I want there and hit OK. At that moment, the tool’s properties are updated in the registry.
If you open the registry editor (Start > Run > regedit > OK) and go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Ilient\Deploy, you’ll see the code in the HotKey value (the decimal value).
