How can I add registry keys to all existing profiles

Does anyone know of a way to add a key to every profile under HKEY_USERS
automatically (through script I suspect)? I need to set a software setting
for everyone who logs on/has logged on to the computers to prevent the
program from trying to check for online updates (Adobe Reader 7).
Unfortunatly, the setting lives only in current user.

Just create a .reg file that you store on the netlogon share of each DC.

In your logon script

regedit /s %LOGONSERVER%\NETLOGON\AdobeNoUpd.reg

That would work if I had access to the logon scripts, but our department's IT
functions are devided and it takes a small mirical to add anything to group
policy or the logon script. Basically, it needs to be something that can be
run remotely or in person not useing server technologies.

Good idea though, thanks.

Also thought of doing same thing in the registry "run" key, but it is
preferable to leave no trace.
