This is a script I created to run in SCCM during a Windows 7 to Windows 10 upgrade. In this scenario, WIN7 was a part of the computer description on the local machine. I wanted to update only the part that said WIN7—as there was other text in the description I wanted to keep.
To do this, I used a simple batch file with reg query to get the current key info. Then I scanned it as a string. If WIN7 existed, replace it with WIN10. Once it was replaced in that string, I used reg add to just import the updated OS into the computer description (easy). I added some extra output, just to make sure everything was working. This eventually was compiled into an EXE and added to a SCCM task sequence.
The reason I like using batch scripting sometimes?
