Running a .reg file remotely

I have a number of machines that I've installed some software on but
forgot to run a registry key on.

Is there a way to just run the .reg file on each machine without user
intervention? I have local admin rights on the machines and they're all
running XP SP2.

The machines are in three locations, about 200 miles away.

Is there a dos command I can run to do it?
 
You can do that via Group Policy or via logon script. Put the .reg on a
common network share then have the logon script execute:

Regedit.exe /s "Network Path to fix.reg"

Click to expand...

PSEXEC and a little scripting...
 
Get a magic wand. Or email the fix to all your clients. I don't know
how you might propose to do this without user intervention if you don't
have a central distribution/share point. Other than that use something
like psexec and do all the machines remotely.
