Edit the Registry???

[Brian P.]

Hello,

I currently have a batch file that runs when users login to the network, to
setup some software they will require, but part of the batch file modify's
the registry, and normally I receive an error that the reigistry is write
protected, or another error that basically states the user doesn't have
access. Is there a way within a batch file, to assign the user logging in
admin rights to be able to continue running the file, then at the end of the
batch file, I can remove the access?

Thanks!

I strongly suggest the MS scripting group; microsoft.public.windows.server.scripting

I also suggest looking into Group Policies to mod the registry.
