SYMPTOMS
When assigning a hexadecimal value to a DWORD registry entry using the
Outlook Deployment Kit (ODK), alpha characters are stripped from the entry.
For example, a value of "1E", which represents the decimal number 30, is
added to the registry as "1".
CAUSE
This is currently a limitation of the Outlook Deployment Kit and the way
registry values are entered for DWORD data types.
WORKAROUND
Hexadecimal values must be entered as all numeric values. In the example
above, hexadecimal values of 19 or 20 can be entered, representing the
decimal values of 25 and 32 respectively.
