where are the registry permissions saved?

[Sabine]

Hallo all,
I'm using WinXP Pro and all our users have just user-rights on their
machines so they cannot edit registry keys under HKEY_Local_Machine.
But some Software needs to modify/create some keys there.
As I can grant rights in regedit to single users/machines to be able
to create these keys, I would like to know, where those permissions
are saved to deploy them automatic?
Thanks for your help.

Hi

I'm afraid they are not saved in a way that you can "extract" them and then
deploy them.

To automate the permission setup, you can use some command line utilities for
this. Here is a couple:

1)
Subinacl.exe in the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&DisplayLang=en

(The kit will install on WinXP or later so you can get to Subinacl.exe)


2)
SETACL (freeware) at
http://setacl.sourceforge.net/

SetACL can set permissions on:

Local or remote directories
Local or remote files
Local or remote printers
Local or remote registry keys
Local or remote Win32 services
Local or remote network shares
