Secedit INF content

[EdT]

In the Security INF files used by Secedit, what does the section
[Unicode]
Unicode = Yes
actually mean ?

Does it specify the format of the INF file; whether it is written in
Unicode or ASCII ??
I need to be able to edit the INF file using vbscript when moving from
domain to domain, to pick up the correct SIDS for the groups in that
domain, and I therefore would prefer the file to be in ASCII format...

Hi

Yes, the Secsetup.inf file is in Unicode format. Note that WSH's
FileSystemObject have full support for reading/writing to Unicode
based text files.
