Installing registry hack on multiple PCs ?

[Torgeir Bakken \(MVP\)]

I have installed Policy Maker Reg. extn on my test machine. Upon reading the
document it says I have to distribute polregcl.msi (CSE) package to all the
clients. In my hcase I have few thousands. My question is, is there a way
to implement a registry change without insalling a client program on all
clients ?

You can push out registry settings with a GPO using a custom
administrative template ("tattooing" the registry on the clients):

Two ways

Custom ADM files which will write the setting into the machine during Policy
Application or
VB/WSH Scripting which during a Startup or Shutdown/Logoff which can write
directly into the registry.

My suggestion would be ADM files over scripting for everything other than
binary values.

Thank you. I was not able to set up through .adm (did not know the right
syntax). I modified the registry, DisablePST=1 and automated it through the
GPO startup script . Although, I was able to acheive all the reuirements I
wanted except the users are still able to open their existing .pst files.

Was wondering how to stop it. Thanks
