changing reg. permissions with a script

[Guest]

I've been using sysprep to create our company image and I thought I had
everything working, but them we came across some problems with certain types
of software app starting. I've found the reg I need to change. I have to
change the users to have full control. This was setup in our original image,
but sysprep seems to reset this back to read.

So is there a way to change the permissions of a key in the registry via a
script. Right now I have a script that runs to remove a couple of icons and
I also change a value of a reg key, but I don't know how to access the
permissions of such keys. I would appreciate any suggestions.

The specific key I'm trying to change is HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MSLicensing.
I want Users (computername\Users) to allow Full Control. Sysprep sets this
to just Read.

subinacl.exe will do it. It comes with the Windows Resource Kit.
Its syntax is a little hard do understand.
