Hello experts,

When i try to connect to a remote registry through regedit.exe and after i
connect i can't see the key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER", i can see the other keys,
is there a third party application to make a remote registry and have access
to that key?? I need to add some values in all my network pc's, is this
possible and how do i do it?

JR.
 
Thanks,
Does this mean i can't log and find this key remotely??

I'm not sure what that means, but someone needs to be logged on in order to
load the current user hive and only that users' hive will be available.

Maybe you need to look at
<remote>\HKU\
 
You will have to do the changes in another fashion. The HKCU key is a
child or pseudo hive created when the user logs on. The information is
from the user's ntuser.dat file located in his/her profile folder. You
will either have to load each one of these hives individually to make
the changes, not a viable option for a large network with many users.
Or you might find a third party network registry tool which can search
through all the different ntuser.dat and make the changes for you. An
easy way would be to have the changes done through the logon mechanism,
have a script or batch file do the changes for the users as they logon.

Hello and Thanks,

It's a viable way for me to run a script or batch file. Is there a link or
someplace where i can "educate myself" about it, more information perhaps???
procedures and syntax. Would you experts point me in the right direction on
how to accomplish this?

Thanks,
JR.
