For a legacy piece of software I need to give users write
permissions to a specific registry key within
hkey_local_machine/software

Rather than doing this on each machine I would like to
use group policies, but the registry element is not
configurable. I have also come across poledit as a
possible way of doing this

Any advice on the best way to do this would be most
appreciated
 
You cannot give registry permissions using group policies. You have to
configure each computer. You can use login scripts, but there is problem how
to run specific command with administrative user rights. Runas command
doesn't allow to enter password in stream and you wouldn't propably like to
show it to users.

I would myself try to remotely configure those computers. First get list of
computer names and then run command script on your computer with your
administrative user rights. For this you need tool which allows connection
to remote machine's registry and applying permissions from command line.
