# Configure Windows Client Booster Settings with a Script

## What this script configures

Windows clients can receive up to five Booster addresses and ports through a **[Superprefs Fileset](https://kb.filewave.com/books/filewave-client/page/superprefs-fileset "Creating a Superprefs Fileset")** or the batch script below.

Use the script when you need a Fileset to write explicit Booster entries into the FileWave WinClient Registry settings. It stops the client service, updates the entries, and starts the service again.

## Batch script

```bash
@echo off
NET STOP "FileWave WinClient">NUL
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\FileWave\WinClient /v booster1 /t REG_SZ /d no.booster.set /f
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\FileWave\WinClient /v booster1port /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\FileWave\WinClient /v booster2 /t REG_SZ /d no.booster.set /f
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\FileWave\WinClient /v booster2port /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\FileWave\WinClient /v booster3 /t REG_SZ /d no.booster.set /f
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\FileWave\WinClient /v booster3port /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\FileWave\WinClient /v booster4 /t REG_SZ /d no.booster.set /f
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\FileWave\WinClient /v booster4port /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\FileWave\WinClient /v booster5 /t REG_SZ /d no.booster.set /f
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\FileWave\WinClient /v booster5port /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
NET START "FileWave WinClient"

exit

```

Copy the script into a text editor and adjust the `booster1` through `booster5` entries for your environment:

- Replace `no.booster.set` with the Booster's fully qualified domain name for each slot you use.
- Set the matching port to the configured Booster port. The default is `20013`.
- For an unused slot, keep `no.booster.set` and port `0`.

Do not use a short host name when the client must resolve the Booster across DNS domains.

Save the file with a `.bat` extension.

In the Fileset's **Get Info > Executables** tab, add the batch file and configure it to **Execute once when activated**.

## Example

This example configures Booster 1 as `booster1.filewave.com` on the default port `20013`:

```bash
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\FileWave\WinClient /v booster1 /t REG_SZ /d booster1.filewave.com /f
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\FileWave\WinClient /v booster1port /t REG_DWORD /d 20013 /f
```
