Re: Modify Registry on all SBS2003 clients

I would do it with a simple script..

Get "reg.exe" from the windows 2000 resource kit.
Add the registry key to one machine - then export the key to a .reg file
named registrykey.reg
copy reg.exe and the registrykey.reg file to a share on the server
create a tiny .bat file such as:

@echo off
net use v: \\ServerName\ShareName
v:
reg import registykey.reg >nul
c:
net use v: /d


name the .bat file fixreg.bat
At this point you might want to test the batch file on a system to make sure
it works.

Call the batch file from a login script:

Copy fixreg.bat to the SYSVOL\scripts folder on your SBS server
Make a copy of SBS_LOGIN_SCRIPT.bat for safe keeping
Edit the SBS_LOGIN_SCRIPT.bat
Add the following line to the bottom of the script

Call %0\..\fixreg.bat

Next time the user logs on, the registry on their computer will be fixed.
After each system has been logged onto, you can replace the modified
SBS_LOGIN_SCRIPT.bat with the original one.

Looks like a job for Desktop Standard Policy Maker Registry Extension.
That's a mouthful, eh.
Fortunately the price is right.

The full path is this, which has to be created:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control
\StorageDevicePolicies

then create Dword WriteProtect and set value to 1

Thanks

Perhaps through group policy, you'd need to be more specific and perhaps
more on topic in

But feel free to give it a shot here.

What's the full registry path key you need to create?

I need to add a key and set a Dword in the registry of all my sbs2003
clients. Is there a way i can do this automatically from the server
instead
of going to each client in the network.

Thanks
