How to change "Registered Owner" info with GPO

There isn't a built-in GPO policy to manage that. You would need a custom ADM file to import into Group Policy if you wanted to control these changes through that method. The actual registry entries you need to modify are detailed in http://windowsxp.mvps.org/owner.htm.

Alternatively, an easier way than using a custom ADM may be to simply push a .REG file out as a startup/logon script to change those policies accordingly.

Could you share the syntax for the .reg file?

 I see the path is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion

And the Key is RegisteredOwner and RegisteredOrginization

Also, is it just a plain txt file renamed with .reg extension?

You guys are fast with replies! Thanks a ton, I am trying the startup script now?  Should I just leave that script in there or can I take it out after it runs once on all the macines?

You only need to run it once per machine; the setting will remain.

Ok, that startup batch script, what kind of extension does that need to have? vba, txt, reg?

It's a batch script; use .cmd

Yes, oBdA is correct (apologies for not replying sooner) - you only need it to run for each PC. Since the setting is a 'Machine' setting, you would need to push it as a 'Startup' script - a 'Logon' script would not work unless all users are Administrators on their PCs with permissions to change those registry values.

Thanks guys the script worked great after changing the extension to .cmd. Cheers!
