Mofcomp can write data to the registry?

I thought Mofcomp can only copy data from the registry ---> WMI not the other 
way around.

If I do a "Put" to a WMI value that is tied to a registry value, does that Put 
command write the value to the registry?

It's being written by the ZTITatoo.wsf file, through the ZTITatoo.mof file.

At the end of a deployment, my key has these values - so obviously something is 
populating them beyond what is evident in MDT scripts...

I tried looking for the "Deployment 4" string in all the scripts too and came 
up empty - apart what you've shown below.  Something is writing those values 
though.  Maybe SCCM itself writes these values and not an MDT process?

Yup, looks like MDT 2012+ uses that location for some registry entries and the 
ZTITatoo.mof

C:\DeploymentShare\Scripts>findstr /i /m /s /c:"Deployment 4" *
WelcomeWiz_Initialize.vbs
ZTITatoo.mof
ZTIUtility.vbs

C:\DeploymentShare\Scripts>findstr /i /s /c:"Deployment 4" *.vbs
WelcomeWiz_Initialize.vbs:      sPercent = 
oShell.RegRead("HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Deployment 4\ProgressPercent")
WelcomeWiz_Initialize.vbs:      sMessage = 
oShell.RegRead("HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Deployment 4\ProgressText")
ZTIUtility.vbs:                 oShell.RegWrite 
"HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Deployment 4\ProgressPercent", iPercent, "REG_DWORD"
ZTIUtility.vbs:                 oShell.RegWrite 
"HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Deployment 4\ProgressText", sMsg, "REG_SZ"

Subject: [MDT-OSD] What writes to Deployment 4 registy?

Does anyone know what MDT script writes to 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Microsoft\\Deployment 4 ?

This used to be done by ZTITatoo.wsf, but I don't it does that anymore.  
ZTITatoo.mof still appears to pull its data from there when it is compiled, and 
the data is still being written by some process.


The reason I am asking is that I want to add a few extra values to the 
"Microsoft BDD Info" WMI class and I was previously doing that with a modified 
ZTITatoo.mof + adding a few regwrite calls to ZTITatoo.wsf.  Now, there are no 
regwrite calls in ztiTatoo.wsf.

I could write a new script to write the data into 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Microsoft\\Deployment 4, but it has got me 
curious now to know where/what is writing the values to that reg key in 
MDT2013. Mystery.
