Registy Update for a Remote Server

[dp]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsnt.registry (More info?)

Hello,

There is a command-line tool for Windows (XP Pro) registry update - REG.
As far as I understand, it works only for local machine.

Is that possible to change the registry of the other server (within the
current network domain) - e.g. from a batch file?

Thanks,
DP

I was wrong - REG works for remote machines also.
There is a limitation though - the only root keys supported are HKLM and
HKU.
I need to update HKCU. MSDN says that HKCU is actually linked to the
particulare subfolder in HKU.

How I can either:
- Loop through all the branches inside HKU and update the registry values
for all the users;
or (preferrably)
- Loop through all the branches inside HKU and update the registry values
only for the current user?

All that should be done with the batch file.

Thanks in advance,
DP

You can't. HKCU is the current user hive and is stored in ntuser.dat within
the user profile. You'll need something that runs at logon for each user.
