Is there a good way to deploy a registry key via GP? I
could easily write a login script if the users had rights
to change the registry, but they don't. I read somewhere
about someone using an msi file to do this, which would
make sense, but I haven't the first clue how to create an
msi file.

I'm trying to update everyone's registry to force their
machines to look to the Outlook Security Settings public
folder where I have made some modifications to Outlook's
default security settings.

Any ideas?
 
Eric, if you already have the script, just slap it into the Script portion
of the GPO, either for a user or computer.
 
The login "script" is just a batch file. Here is the
syntax:

reg add HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Security /v
CheckAdminSettings /t REG_DWORD /d 1

Naturally, when this runs, it errors out saying that the
logged in user doesn't have rights to edit the registry.

Sorry. Calling it a script was probably misleading.
 
The best is to write own Administrative Templates.

You can also script them in as Derek says.

Microsoft TechNet Script Center:

How ever I think there is an administrative template for what you want to
do. That comes with Office RESKIT.
Like OUTLK11.ADM or OUTLK10.ADM

Many thanks, Christoffer. I found the built-in Outlook
template and simply added it to the admin templates in
AD. I appreciate your help immensely.
