2. In the navigation pane, locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\
3. In the details pane, right-click Security Packages, and then click Modify.

Isn't there a way that I can write a batch file to do this? That way I could just run the batch file on every computer instead of having to go through all of the steps on each computer. Any help or advice on how to best do this on 40 computers?

You sure can... there's probably a dozen ways to do that.
A really easy approach is to put this registry value in a .reg file (just export this branch from regedit and remove everything but the value you want to change) and import it on the machines using regedit:
regedit /s yourfile.reg
Then execute this on all your computers you need this on. You can further automate, e.g. by defining a startup script in a domain GPO, or by using a tool like psexec.
