What are the effects of setting a UNC path in the PATH variable name? Does W2k attempt to verify the each value in the PATH on start up? If it does what are the performance implications of having 5-10 different servers in the PATH?

* Gerry - set the variable(s) in a login script that all members of that domain will run. * Leslie - As Maor suggested, use the SET command to get a list of environment variables. You can SET > ENV.TXT to save them to a file called ENV.TXT. * wzvh3c - to set a variable equal to the first line in a file, do SET /P VAR_NAME=Anonymous User Thu, 04 Nov 2004 13:14:07 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/configuration/managing-nt-environment-variables#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/configuration/managing-nt-environment-variables#commentsAnchorWed, 22 Sep 2004 08:58:14 GMT
Is there a way to set an environment variable by reading an input file?

Better get the version from http://unxutils.sourceforge.net. The ones here do not substitute \1, \2, \n, \t, etc properly. like so: s/example/for example:\n\t/ s/^default=.*partition(\([0-9]*\)).*$/SET PARTNUM=\1/ Then you can reduce a lot of code.]]>LH Tue, 15 Jun 2004 22:43:39 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/task-scheduling/sed#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/configuration/managing-nt-environment-variables#commentsAnchorWed, 21 Apr 2004 07:10:59 GMT

SED is an ancient *nix utility. Open source. Maybe ya should do some of your own research before posting? what I WOULD like to know is where the binary is. While I’m sure I can find it myself, a linke to where you got the binary from would be very helpfull.]]>simonThu, 05 Jun 2003 14:02:24 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/task-scheduling/sed#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/configuration/managing-nt-environment-variables#commentsAnchorThu, 15 May 2003 05:45:49 GMT
Please don’t beat me up for asking but my boss would like us to research and recommend a testing approach on any impact of setting the user and system environment variables TEMP and TMP to the same location on NT4, W2K, and WXP workstations. I understand that you can change the structure of The NT environmental variables through an applet and everything is supposed to work fine. Why would someone go through all this trouble? Is there a way to trick Active Directory by doing this so that it runs in both modes? Any feedback would be appreciated.]]>Paul Fitzmaurice Thu, 15 May 2003 05:45:49 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/configuration/managing-nt-environment-variables#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/task-scheduling/sed#commentsAnchorFri, 11 Apr 2003 08:57:21 GMT

This is a useful article. However, it doesn’t mention whether or not there is a command similar to "env" in the unix world so that one can view all the current env var settings from the command line. Is there such a command in nt?]]>michael schwartz Wed, 27 Mar 2002 10:18:27 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/configuration/managing-nt-environment-variables#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/task-scheduling/sed#commentsAnchorFri, 18 Jan 2002 16:44:29 GMT

I use an *extremely* handy utility called TextPipe that does far more than just sed style search/replace, and from the command line. You can grab it at www.crystalsoftware.com.au I have found the author to be very responsive to support calls as well.]]>Simon Carter Sun, 25 Jun 2000 21:59:24 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/task-scheduling/sed#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/task-scheduling/sed#commentsAnchorSun, 16 Jan 2000 18:06:03 GMT
I believe SED to be an absolutely critical tool in any network admin environment. We just would not be able to give users the service we do without SED running along inside all our bat files setting things up. Anyway the article sure demystifies a lot of the syntax, but also adds to it. For eg we only have ever used the s function (substitute) and i was surprised to see all the others like c (change. The article would have been complete with examples of all the other functions. Anyway good stuff.]]>Mark De Bortoli Sun, 16 Jan 2000 18:06:03 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/task-scheduling/sed#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/task-scheduling/sed#commentsAnchorMon, 13 Sep 1999 16:37:09 GMT
Although I read this article with interest I have a few comments. The author doesn’t say who wrote SED and where the different versions can be downloaded. Also I was suprised to read that "some versions" of win32 SED didn’t work well. Which versions are those? It is interesting to know if you need to use a 32-bit version. I was disappointed te discover that the article was too basic. For example, several times it was mentioned that "addresses" can be used, but not one example described its use.]]>Han Felkers Mon, 13 Sep 1999 16:37:09 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/task-scheduling/sed#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/task-scheduling/sed#commentsAnchorTue, 07 Sep 1999 08:02:39 GMT
