    Need help using the REG EXPORT
    « on: January 06, 2010, 10:13:08 AM »
    Can you please tell me why the following does not work in my batch file to extract a key from the registry?

    REG EXPORT HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Outlook I:\BU\Outlook\Registry\W700-Outlook.reg /y

    I get an error that the syntax is invalid. I've confirmed that I have the correct path for my key. I want to extract my Outlook 2007 registry key that contains my user accounts, passwords, rules, etc. I've got the data files, the keys are the only thing I cannot get at this time (I can do a manual export in regedit). I'm trying to set up a batch file that I can schedule a run on a weekly basis to help ensure I have a recovery path when something goes wrong.

    Per MS at Reg export I should be able to perform an extract.
