NumLock ON over domain

[LaforcE]

Hi guyz,

We are running Windows XP workstation and Windows 2003 server on a domain. Users are complaining that the NumLock on all workstation are turn off by default on boot. I've find that if the key "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard\InitialKeyboardIndicators" is set to "2", the problem is solve.

But I dont want to go on each workstation to set it out. We are not using logon script. Everything is trough policies and MSI. Is theer any easy and quick way to modify the regiestry entries on all the workstation (users dont have admin right on workstation) ?

Thanks all !!!

So ... no one knows how to push a .reg on all workstation with the domain policies ?

Got it ... Just add this on the startup script of the machine:

----------------------------------------------------------
regedit /S \\server\Packages\EXE\NumLockFix\NumLock_ON.reg
@echo off
cls
-----------------------------------------------------------
And the .reg is :

---- Cut And Paste BEGIN ----
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard]
"InitialKeyboardIndicators"="2"
----- Cut and paste END ------

That's it.
