* This is the modus mailing list * If the users already have a logon script, this is an easy thing. Export the new key to a .reg file from regedit.exe, and save it somewhere accessible on the network.
You can do a silent import of the .reg file with a command in their logon script like so : regedit.exe /s \\server\share\file.reg If you don't already have a login script running, you can set those up through a group policy. I believe in the group/default domain policy, you go to User Configuration->Windows Settings->Scripts(Logon/Logoff)->Logon Set the logon script to be the script file name, then put the script file in the NETLOGON share on the main server(s). Thnk that's how it works... See "logon scripts" in the Windows help for some good documentation. There might be a problem if the user does not have access to create the registry key, as the script runs in the user context. If you use the other push method suggested, be sure all the machines are on!:P If you want to try and do it directly via a policy, here's a start: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=214752 -Andrew -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Suneel Jhangiani Sent: Monday, October 27, 2003 4:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] OT - pushing registry key to XP systems You should be able to do this quite simply â Simply create a batch file to write out a .reg file and have it call it then delete it. This will popup a warning on a users system, so it might be wise to inform the user before hand. To call the batch file just add it to everyone's startup script.

I'm running w2K servers and Active Directory. Is there an easy way to push the new key to the remote systems. Emailing the users with instructions will be a 20% fix and I don't really want to visit every desktop. I thought of Group Policy but don't see where I would put it in the GPO. Any suggestions from those wiser than I?
