Rolling out registry Key to Clients

[Joe]

Hello All:

I need to create a registry key on all client machines and need some
direction on how to acommplish it.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Winlogon

New String - Value Name: LogonPrompt Value data: Warning Banner Text

I've downloaded Policy Maker Registry add on and created this key under
computer settings in and Group Policy is enabled....but it is not working.
Any ideas on how I can accomplish this.

Thanks

As an Alternative, you can use an ADM Template, that don´t need a special
software, the (MS-style) registrypolicy is integrated.

Class Machine
CATEGORY "Changes to WINLOGON""
POLICY "Edit Logon Message (Prompt)"
KEYNAME "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon"
PART "Message:" Edittext
VALUENAME "LogonPrompt"
DEFAULT "Your Message"
END PART
END POLICY
END CATEGORY

Hi,

Very simple way to do this is to set a startup script. Export the Key from
the registry as it is you want it set. Save myregsetting.reg to the Netlogon
share.

Create a Batch file in the Netlogon share with the following.

regedit /s \\server\netlogon\myregsetting.reg

Assign as a STARTUP Script in the Computer Config in the Group Policy of the
OU where the Computers Reside.

Cheers,
