Add Telephony location to XP registry

[Count430]

Hello all,

Thanks for any suggestions on this item.

I have a tasks where I'm trying to add additional location data to the Telephony configuration on a WinXP machine.

Some clients have more than one location already configured and I would like to enumerate through those keys and add my location info without over writing the exisiting keys.

Could someone point me in the right direction for this because I'm not that versed with the code and this seems a little complexed.

I want to add a global location where the area code is "000"

Thanks again!

What do you have so far? Have you identified the registry keys?

I hope you find this post helpful.

Hi MarkDmac

Here's the registry data I want to add, which is something I can write up to this point.

I set this as a const and search for that const in the registry. If it doesn't exists the script adds the key.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Telephony\Locations\Location3]
"Country"=dword:00000001
"Flags"=dword:00000001
"Name"="Global"
"AreaCode"="000"
"DisableCallWaiting"=""
"LongDistanceCarrierCode"=""
"InternationalCarrierCode"=""
"LongDistanceAccess"="9"
"OutsideAccess"="9"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Telephony\Locations\Location3\AreaCodeRules]

I thought about this last night and figure I can query the location name value as a condition to write the data if the name "Global" cannot be found in any Telephony local setting.

Just trying to work out some logical approach. [Afro]

Thanks

OK, so now you are working along the right lines. Take a stab at writing the code and post back what you come up with for help.
