If you then double click on Type and ensure that it is set to 19 which is a networked version of the application.
What happens is that once the SP 3 is applied it automatically knocks this from a networked version to a standalone version. A standalone version will say 2a in the Value Data field below.
Can we write something that will look for this setting when the user logs in, if it is set at 2a then change it to 19 if not leave alone?

Since the value you want to edit is a HEX (the 2a indicates that) you cannot write yourself a custom ADM template. You would need to create a registry file and deploy it via a startup script that will be executed during the computer startup process.

Open the Regedit, switch to the AutoCAD branch and click File - Export. The saved file can be called in the logon script.
