Corporate Deployment: Power User can't write to hive CU Policy Key

[Glenn]

Have a reg file that consists of a GPO's entry in
HKEY_Current_User\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0
\Outlook\Options\Mail\JunkMailProtection... anyway it
will install OK in a script as a Local Administrator but
won't make the entry as a Power User. In the past Power
Users have been able to write to CU is there something
sacred about subkey Policies? Is there a workaround?

Thanks!

Glenn

Hi

Yes, the Policies subkey has a more restricted access.

Some Runas wrapper utilities or alternatives that might help you:
