You can use gpp since you have windows 7 boxes, xp will need the client side extensions<br />

I am trying to push registry settings via Group Policy. &nbsp;I have already added under Computer Configuration/Security Settings/Registry in the GPO.<br />
<br />
I've also added Authenticated Users and Domain Computers with FULL CONTROL to the key in the Scope settings. Is it posssible to push registry key settings through GPO instead of having to create a ADM template?<br />

Attached the reg key I am trying to add. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
We have a combination of Windows XP and Windows 7 clients. Know Windows 7 functionality is a little different in a Windows 2003 forest level functionality domain. <br />
<br />
Which is the best way to push these settings? <a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2011/10_w41/509534/M-Files-Nw-Reg.reg" target="_blank" class="file-inline" title="Reg Key (2 KB)"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 512 512"><path d="M67.508 468.467c-58.005-58.013-58.016-151.92 0-209.943l225.011-225.04c44.643-44.645 117.279-44.645 161.92 0 44.743 44.749 44.753 117.186 0 161.944l-189.465 189.49c-31.41 31.413-82.518 31.412-113.926.001-31.479-31.482-31.49-82.453 0-113.944L311.51 110.491c4.687-4.687 12.286-4.687 16.972 0l16.967 16.971c4.685 4.686 4.685 12.283 0 16.969L184.983 304.917c-12.724 12.724-12.73 33.328 0 46.058 12.696 12.697 33.356 12.699 46.054-.001l189.465-189.489c25.987-25.989 25.994-68.06.001-94.056-25.931-25.934-68.119-25.932-94.049 0l-225.01 225.039c-39.249 39.252-39.258 102.795-.001 142.057 39.285 39.29 102.885 39.287 142.162-.028A739446.174 739446.174 0 0 1 439.497 238.49c4.686-4.687 12.282-4.684 16.969.004l16.967 16.971c4.685 4.686 4.689 12.279.004 16.965a755654.128 755654.128 0 0 0-195.881 195.996c-58.034 58.092-152.004 58.093-210.048.041z"/></svg>M-Files-Nw-Reg.reg</a>

Push Registry Keys Group Policy

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
