2. To configure EasyUpdate to recognize license agreements automatically when
you are using a local repository, and not the Lenovo Help Center Web site, set
the following registry value to YES:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\EasyUpdate
\Preferences\UserSettings\General\IgnoreLocalLicense
For more information about working with license agreements, see “Working
with license agreements” on page 41. If you do not set this registry setting to
YES, EasyUpdate will not detect packages with license agreements when using
command scripts.
Map Drive utility
The MapDrv utility provides network share related functions for EasyUpdate. To
define the network share information, use the MapDrv utility to connect or
disconnect network shares. The MapDrv utility maintains this network share
information in a registry key that is protected by administrator access only. The
network share information includes the network share name (in UNC format), user
name (saved in the registry as an encrypted string), and the password (saved in
the registry as an encrypted string).
The MapDrv utility can be found in the EasyUpdate installation directory. The
default installation directory is located at c:\Program Files\Lenovo\EasyUpdate.
Network share information is stored in the registry at:
HKLM\Software\Lenovo\MND\TSEUAPPLICATION
If an Active Directory policy is used, these values are stored at:
HKLM\Software\Policies\Lenovo\MND\TSEUAPPLICATION
The values stored in this location are:
Table 25. The MapDrv settings and values
Value Description
UNC The stored network share.
User The stored encrypted user name for this share.
Pwd The stored encrypted password for this share.
NetPath Value output from the MapDrv utility to indicate
the actual connection path (may be IP dotted
format if the nameserver is not working). The
actual connection path may not be the same as the
stored UNC value.
The MapDrv utility also enables an administrator to use the encryption engine to
generate an encrypted user name and password, which can be used to
pre-populate network share information on multiple systems. Using the encryption
engine in this manner does not update the registry on the system it’s running on.
Command line interface
The command line interface to the MapDrv utility is as follows:
mapdrv /<function> <app id> /unc <sharename> /user <username> /pwd <password>
[/timeout <seconds>] [ /s]
