Scripting a registry change for all users on a Citrix Xenapp 6 server
Hello,
I have a misbehaving application that the vendor says requires a registry change to fix. The application is published on a three server Citrix Xenapp6 farm and this registry change must be applied to each user who launches this application. They have provided a .reg file that can be executed to create the appropriate keys but to accomplish this without a script we would need to log into the desktop of each Xenapp sever and execute this .reg file. I need a method to script this registry change/addition when ever anyone logs into this server or this application. For example, user one launches the application and is directed to Xenapp server three. This Xenapp server should have a script that adds this registry key at logon. We are using Termlogin.cmd to run various commands such as mapping drives, etc but I need to know how to execute this .reg file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I would use Group Policy Preferences for everything including mapping drives, printers, registry settings, hiding drives, etc.
termlogin.cmd? Never heard of it.. but there are a *ton* of ways to deploy what you want. The GPP that Carl mentioned is one way.
To directly answer the question:
Use
You can use the usrlogon.cmd structure
You can add the values to hklm\software\wow6432node\
I wrote an article on here about using the usrlogon.cmd structure to deploy this type of thing also.
