Installing Fonts

Batch file to install fonts?

i was using a batch file to robocopy my .tff files to the %systemroot%\Fonts
directory then trying to push down a registry edit to install those fonts
(because i'm using imaged machines) ... however, it seems that i'm getting
the registry prompt and i can't seem to automate the process

can i simply use command prompts for installing fonts across a network?

thansk!

Have you tried using regedit.exe's /s switch to suppress the prompt?

You are to merge your REG file locally? "push down" is unclear. You
may need to use Sysinternals psexec.exe to make the merge "locally"
from a remote system.
