Registry Editing

[Guest]

I am trying to edit\add registry keys on workstations where the logged on users only have domain user rights. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\POLICIES is one of the keys. Does anyone now how I can do this through login scripts or any other way? Thanks for the help!

Make your edits to the HKCU key, and export the portion of the key to a
*.reg file. Edit the *.reg file with notepad to clean it up further.

Put the drive, path, and name of the registry file in the login script. If
all the rights are correctly set, then a popup window will show up asking
the user for confirmation to import the registry key.

You can use the -s option to have it merge the keys "silently" with no
user input.

A normal user is denied access to these specific registry keys. Even if run silent they will receive an error stating that the key cannot be imported. It needs to be done with admin privelges. That's the problem I am having. How can I import these keys as an admin while domain users are logging in? Thanks again

The current user should have access to the HKCU hive. Or you can get a copy
of RunASProfessional from http://www.mast-computer.de .
