Can't write to HKCU?

Hello,

We have about 300 workstations with W2000, winNT 4.0 as PDC.

I set up in the login script (written in VBS) a line to change the
wallpaper... (writing to appropiate HKCU brach).

The problem is that in some workstations it is working and in some it
does not.

It seems to be registry permissions, some of the users don't have enough
rigths to write to HKCU, although all the users use the same profile.

Any help would be really appreciate,

regards,

Antonio.

Hi

You might get it to work using a Runas wrapper utility or similar, take a look
here:

Thanks for your help,

But what I would like to solve is the issue that some users have rigths
to write to HKLU and some cannot... while all of them are using same
profile.

Regards,

Antonio.

You might expand on your meaning of "all the users use the same
profile". Roaming, local, mandatory, or just that a "template"
profile was used. And if so, how did it get created/copied.

What are the actual ACEs on the keys/values in question for sample
working/not-working systems? Are there any local or domain Group
Policies being used that might be restricting certain registry
writes?
