Hi Sharath,

Disable "System Restore Service" service on client machines.
I think you already has a script that read files for computer names and disable mentioned service.

First it will stop the service then it will disable the service.

Sharath,

I know you wanted a scripting method to do this, but have you seen the method provided by Group Policy to achieve the same? See http://www.theeldergeek.com/re-enable_system_restore.htm (although do it in Group Policy Management and not through gpedit.msc!)
