Jeffrey ran into this issue yesterday. A number of registry keys (that were accessible in WS2K8 and earlier) are locked down in R2 by use of the TrustedInstaller account (TrustedInstaller has FC on the registry key, and administrators only have read access). Jeffrey had to use the SourceForge setacl utility to script a workaround for some registry edits that he wanted to make, basically to take ownership of the key, grant write permission to the current user account, do the registry import, and then undo the changes using setacl again.

It seems that the import doesn't work by clicking on the reg file, basically says something is wrong with it. But I actually loaded it from another X64 R2 system accordingly. Z Edward E.

I have added it to the Local GPO, there is nothing higher GPO wise overriding it, and I ran a gpupdate /force after adding it accordingly. Any ideas? Z Edward E.
