I am working at a client that has all PCs logging into
local workgroup. All users log on as administrator onto
PC. I'm moving client to 2003 domain. 1 banking
application will only open up when logged on as
administrator on local pc, it won't open for any other
user. I've contacted software company and can export a
reg file (actully using only the key from
HKCU\software\application works)and import this key as new
user and application runs. Problem with that, multiple
users can log onto same pc and I don't want to import reg
file for every user at each pc. Is there a better way of
doing this?
 
Assuming they can't give you anything that will apply to HKEY_USERS, I
suppose one cheap & cheerful method would be to use a batch file login
script that imports the .reg file at startup. Also wondering whether using
roaming Windows profiles (nice to use anyway) would resolve this?
 
Thanks,

I'm thinking of adding the following to the login script:

Net use x: \\servername\share
Regedit /s x:\PSC.reg
Net use x: /delete

I'm also going to explore an AD policy for this. The
login script would be the quickest. Windows will over-
write the registry key if it already exists.
