edit 2000 registry from command prompt

[Guest]

Anyone know how to edit the registry of a 2000 machine from a command prompt,
without downloading the "reg del" from the resource kit? I need to create a
batch file that will delete a registry key on all our 2000 servers.

thanks,
Greg

Incorrect. Both of these suggestions work as advertised.

Saying "This does not work" is 1) a useless problem description and 2)
does not provide enough information to provide further assistance.

You need to be more specific about your requirements.

REG.EXE is freely available (by download) but also on the original
W2K CD as "Support Tools". The CD version may be older than is
available on-line for download for some of the tools.

I beg to differ. The actual REG file technique works on W2K just
fine. Perhaps you are running into some other problem such as
insufficient permission or a "locked" key. No way to know without
some details.

You can launch regedit by command line / batch file. A good howto in
following link:

As you could see you can export/ add and also delete registry key and values
but it's not so easy (deleting operation)


Good Luck, ciao
