How to change another user's registry settings

[Joe]

Hi,

we have a server running with several users accessing.
From time to time I need to change a user's registry
settings in HKCU and I did that by logging on to the
server with the user's id and pw which is very annoying. I
know that the individual settings are somewhere in the
user's profile so there must be a way to edit these
settings without havong to logon with the user's id and
pw. Any ideas?

Thanks .. Joe

Group Policy is the tool for doing this. If the registry edits you're doing
are common ones, they may already be in there.

If not, you can either create a custom ADM file (see help, it's documented
there) or you can create a .reg file and use "regedit /s myfile.reg" to
import it silently.

Use registry editor to connect to their system while they are logged on.
Or use a command line tool to edit their registry files while they are
logged off.
