Script wrapped as app

Question

Hi all,

I’m attempting to deploy a PowerShell script using an Intunewin app, but I’m encountering issues.

When tested locally as a standard user, the script works as expected. However, when deployed via the Intunewin package, only part of the script executes: the folder specified in the script is created, but the settings changes do not take effect.

Here is the script:

# Disable AutoCorrect
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\TabletTip\1.7" -Name "EnableAutocorrection" -Value 0

# Disable Highlight Misspelled Words
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\TabletTip\1.7" -Name "EnableSpellchecking" -Value 0

# Disable Text Suggestions
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\TabletTip\1.7" -Name "EnableTextPrediction" -Value 0

# For Default User profile (applies to new users):
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKU\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\TabletTip\1.7" -Name "EnableAutocorrection" -Value 0
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKU\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\TabletTip\1.7" -Name "EnableSpellchecking" -Value 0
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKU\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\TabletTip\1.7" -Name "EnableTextPrediction" -Value 0
New-Item -Path "c:\" -Name "Autocorrect" -ItemType "directory" -force

It seems the script is only partially working. Could anyone advise on what might be going wrong or suggest how to resolve this?

Install command: powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "Correction for typing - disable.ps1"

Answer 1

I’ll suggest to break the script in two - hkcu which will be required to run in user install behaviour and hku in system install behaviour . You can add a dependency if they need to run together.

Answer 2

@Aran Billen Thanks for posting in Q&A. For the registry key under HKU, it needs system or administrators' permission to change. For standard user, it only has read permission and will fail without permission.Agree with Rahul, you can change to use two scripts to change the registry keys, for the script to change the registry keys under HKCU, run it under current logon user. For another script to change registry keys under HKU, run it under system account.

Hope the above information can help.
