One registry key change.

[Guest]

I have a question regarding making a change on the registry on 200 XP PCs,
changing just one registry key.

What do you suggest as the best option: creating an adm using GPO or in a
login script ?
Please advise,

Please advise,

If the XP PC's are in their own OU, then use a GPO.

Else.

If the users have permission to update the key, you a logon script and test for XP

Else

Use REG ADD "\\USERPC\HKLM\.........

OR

Use a technique like from tip 8935 in the 'Tips & Tricks' at http://www.jsiinc.com
to find all the XP computers in your domain and make the changes.
