NT Remote registry editing 1

[piaknow]

Anyone know how to make a simple registry change to 160 NT 4.0 workstations in the field remotely. I have Admin rights
and I think the answer is with a batfile ran from my Workstation. so far Mine have not worked.
Any help appreciated

Make the change on a single machine, using Regedit. Export the key to a file called 'change.reg'. Put that file in the Netlogon share on your domain controllers. Modify the login script for your users so that during login they invoke the 'change.reg' file.

This is the simplest way to accomplish your goal, outside of creating a new policy .adm file and applying it to all your systems, which I think Yizhar could provide information about (Yiz, didn't you come up with an app that would do this?).

The solution I mentioned above assumes that the change is to be made to the HKEY_Local_Machine section of the registry, and not to the HKEY_Current_User portion. There's a bit more involved if you are trying to change a portion of the latter.

Hello Guys,

Anyone know of a good way to have all temp files on users workstations cleaned say once a month automatically without user intervention?. We can't get these people to cleanup on
their own and then they call in complaining of slow machines.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Rgrds,

Schedule a disk cleanup for the 15th of every month. You can find this under Programs\accessories.
