Hi there. I was wondering how I might be able to edit registry values on my
workstations using a GPO or a script or any other means

What I want to do is change the location of the default user profile to
point to a location on the network. This way all users have the same
configured profile.

I read a Microsoft Article telling me I can change the path using the
registry

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;214636

I just need to know now, How do I implement this change on a network level,
Manually going around to all the workstations and changing this value is not
feasible.

Thanks for the help.
 
There isn't a need to change the regsitry location for the Default User
profile folder.
For Domain User accounts it would be better to put a Default User profile in
the Netlogon share of the domain controllers.

When a domain user logs on, it will check the Netlogon share of the
authenticating domain controller for a Default User profile to use. If it
doesn't find one then it will use the local Default User profile folder.
