Reg update via GPO logon script

Hello:

Regarding the comment below from a posting a while back, can't I do the same
thing even if I'm using the old style logon script? Meaning can I put
regedit /s \\server\share\myreg.reg in a login.bat file? Either way, the
regedit would run at every logon, correct? Since I only have one reg update
the processing time should be negligible, but would this work well if there
were several reg changes?

Here's what I need to add:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Exchange Provider]
"Closest GC"=dword:00000001

Thanks.

Well, if the entries are in HKEY_CURRENT_USER then you could simply create
a
GP-based logon script that calls the reg file like this:

regedit /s \\server\share\myreg.reg

where the /s makes it silent

Or, if you have GP Preferences installed, and the reg file is not too big,
then you can use the registry extension with GP Prefs to add those
registry
entries into a policy.

I have a fix that I need to merge into all domain user's registries. The
fix has a .reg extension. What is the best way to achieve this using
Group
Policy?

Thanks in advance,
Dave H
