is there a way to set registry items via the GPO for a user on a specific machine.<br />
<br />
We have some software that uses the registry for its setting and multiple people can log into a desktop. &nbsp;Depending upon which desktop they are at I need to set a workstation id and all users at that desktop would have the same workstation id.<br />

The registry item is saved in hkcu and not hklm
