Hi, I'm trying to import a .reg file through a VB Script used to logon to windows 2003 terminal server. I got the code correct to add the registry file but through group policy we have disabled users being able to edit the registry. I was wondering if there was a way to import the registry file as a system administrator for this part of the script when a standard domain user logs on.
The reason i'm doing it like this is because the reg key info needs to be loaded before the explorer process runs. Here is the code i have in my script for this part of the login procedure:
strCommand = "regedit /s \\myserver\myshare\xxxx.re
set objWshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScr
intRC = objWshShell.Run(strCommand
if intRC <> 0 then
WScript.Echo "Error returned from importing registry: " & intRC
else
WScript.Echo "No errors returned from importing the registry file"
end if
Any help much appreciated

you could also use the vbscript registry object
WMI:
'*************************
const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
strComputer = "."
Set StdOut = WScript.StdOut
Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv"
strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\System Admin Scripting Guide"
oReg.CreateKey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyP
'*************************
wsh registry scripting:
'*************************
Shell.RegWrite "HKCU\Testing\Subkey\", 0, "REG_DWORD"
Shell.RegWrite "HKCU\Testing\Subkey\My Documents",_ "%USERPROFILE%\My Documents", "REG_EXPAND_SZ"
Shell.RegWrite "HKCU\Testing\Subkey\Value
Shell.RegWrite "HKCU\Testing\Subkey\Value
'*************************
