You can use a custom ADM file to set the new Value Names into the
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment".
See tip 8532 » Using Administrative Template Files with Registry-Based Group Policy.
in the 'Tips & Tricks' at http://www.jsifaq.com
OR you can write a script. For instance, to add the MyVar envitronment variable to every computer in your domain, set it to
XYZ, run the following on any XP workstation or Windows Server 2003, or W2K if you installed the support tools from the CD-ROM,
while logged on as a Domain Admin:
@echo off
setlocal
for /f "Tokens=1" %%c in ('net view^|Findstr /L /C:"\\"') do (
@echo reg add "%%c\HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment" /V MyVar /T REG_SZ /F /D "XYZ"
reg add "%%c\HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment" /V MyVar /T REG_SZ /F /D "XYZ"
)
endlocal
This won't take effect until the computers are restarted.
