Hello,

I'm wondering if it's possible to edit the registry of a post-FBA'ed image.
I've got a copy of my post-FBA image which I use for deployment; I'd like to
tweak the registry slightly without rebuilding it.

Is this possible? Any suggestions how I do it?

Sure. Use regedit.exe. If you don't want to boot your post-FBA image, you
can always edit the registry from another machine.

Gordon, how do I point regedit to my image? If I invoke regedit from my
server, it defaults to the server's registry. How do I tell regedit I want
to edit the registry in a folder somewhere?

Sorry to be obtuse.

Thanks,

Search the REGEDIT help for "Load Hive" for instructions.

Another sneaky way is to copy a batch file to the All Users / Programs
/ Start Menu / Startup folder that merges your changes into the
registry using regedit /s (silent) and then self-deletes the file. I
always include a copy of REGEDIT with my builds in case I need to do
tweaks on the fly.

Good luck!
Mike
