I know this isn't batch or vbs, but if the CustomSettings.ini file is the INI file you're modifying, check out this link:
https://www.scconfigmgr.com/2014/08/23/using-powershell-to-modify-settings-in-mdt-2013/ If you scroll down towards the bottom of the page, there's some excellent guidance and background on using Powershell to do this work. You'll have to customize it to the line(s) you're working with. As an aside, the information there could also be translated to other INI files though if CustomSettings.ini isn't what you're working with.

I have this script that I found to insert a new line of text into an .ini file and it works perfectly .... But for just one time. During my testing I removed the inserted line and text and then reran the script. Only this time it didn't do anything. Nothing got inserted. After rerunning this a dozen times or so I can't figure out why. I tried this on a Windows 10 and a Windows 7 system with same behavior. It ran only once on each system. set objWS = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") Set fsob=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") strNewLine = "AdminPassword=@dm1n1$trat0r!" strFileName = "C:\test\script\CustomSettings.ini" ' for example c:\textfile.txt Const FOR_READING = 1 Const FOR_WRITING = 2 strCheckForString = UCase("SkipAdminPassword=YES") Set objFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objTS = objFS.OpenTextFile(strFileName, FOR_READING) strContents = objTS.ReadAll objTS.Close arrLines = Split(strContents, vbNewLine) Set objTS = objFS.OpenTextFile(strFileName, FOR_WRITING) For Each strLine In arrLines If (Left(UCase(LTrim(strLine)),Len(strCheckForString)) = strCheckForString) Then objTS.WriteLine strLine objTS.WriteLine strNewLine else objTS.WriteLine strLine End If Can anyone explain this to me? What needs to be changed? Thanks in advance Dave L.
