Dell Quickset: modify Options remotely

Hello all,
 
we are deploying images for our laptops d410 and d810. In the images is dell quickset 3.6.0 installed. The option to deactivate the NIC in battery-mode is activated. Now we want to deactivated this option that the NIC is always enabled. Is there a chance to do this with an script or an regkey?
 
thx for some help

    hi,

    i do not use Quickset so i do not know where it stores it's info.

    But sysinternals has 2 nice tools to see what is happening : regmon and filemon.

    Turn off virusscanner, firewall and all running apps and processes you can, since all activity is monitored by those tools and the list grows huge when for exa,ple a virusscanner is run.

    Start regmon, set it to pause and clear its screen.

    Open Quickset and let regmon start recording. Change the setting in quickset and press ok or apply. Now quickly stop regmon. If the settings are stored in the registry, regmon should show you where. With this info, you can create/extract a registry key you could spread via a script.

    If the settings are not stored in the registry, they are stored in a file. Repeat the above procedure using filemon.

    If the settings are stored in a file, check if that file is generic (not related to that specific pc because a computername or username is stored also) you can spread that file.

    This usually works - i hope you belong to 'usual' ... good luck.

    I am using the 7.1.8 version of Quickset.

    I am trying to fin registry settings to change the LAN adapter to Always active on battery and enable the switch to disable WLAN adapter when the computer is connected to LAN.

    I tried the tools from sysinternals but with no success.
