Hello,

Looks like your question may have been answered here already

Hope this helps
It depends on your setup. If you are using logon scripts, then you could initiate a batch file containing
REGEDIT /s "\\myregfilelocation\regfile.reg"

If your company has deployment solutions such as Altiris then you may want to look into sending out a job on that.

Can you give a little more info on your setup?

Here is a batch file to do this for you. You will need to get PSExec from here http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Ftechnet.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Fsysinternals%2Fbb897553.aspx&ei=zyqUSbLWJMyatwfKp8iwCw&usg=AFQjCNEYTpjglbh9Hx8BGZazaoOV-lhj1A&sig2=wJ33yugDtjGALUp87oHOsg

PathToPSExec\psexec -d -i -c "@PathToTxtFile\computers.txt" regedit.exe /s "\\UNCPathToRegFile\file.reg"
