Trueupdate Client to look up value on the server

[dwenco]

Is there any way the true update client can check a registry value on the server?

For my situation, the server will be known at the time the agent is started, but the directory on the server where the scripts are stored can change from time to time, so it needs to be retrieved at runtime, from the server.

Thank you.

Can you check the registry value on the server manually?
The short answer is no.
the long answer is consider using asp or php to retrieve the location and do a post to the website to retrieve the location & feed that to the client.

Thanks Jassing for your prompt response.

By feeding the location to the client, did you mean feeding it via trueupdate?

If so, could you give me some more information on how to do that please? Thanks again!

have a look in the help file for the HTTP. object -- you can get a webpage. Of course, it won't help with teh php/asp side of coding.
