Basically, it comes down to something like this:<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-40735197-1">set /p Computer=Please enter the name of the remote computer:
reg.exe add &quot;\\%Computer%\HKLM\Software\Acme&quot; /v &quot;SomeValue&quot; /t REG_SZ /d &quot;Some String Data&quot; /f</code></pre>
But you need to provide more details, especially whether the key (the &quot;folder&quot; in regedit) is under HKLM or HKCU (HKCU is more complicated), and which values exactly you need to add/set.

thanks for your reply oBdA<br />
the key I'm wanting to add = reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\<wbr />CurrentCon<wbr />trolSet\Se<wbr />rvices\Csc<wbr />\Parameter<wbr />s /v FormatDatabase /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f<br />
<br />
this basically reset the offline cache on reboot of laptop.

Then this should do the trick:<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-40735229-1">@echo off
setlocal
set Computer=
set /p Computer=Please enter the name of the computer on which to reset the offline cache:
if &quot;%Computer%&quot;==&quot;&quot; goto :eof
reg.exe add &quot;\\%Computer%\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Csc\Parameters&quot; /v FormatDatabase /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f</code></pre>
</div>


Then this should do the trick:


@echo off
setlocal
set Computer=
set /p Computer=Please enter the name of the computer on which to reset the offline cache:
if "%Computer%"=="" goto :eof
reg.exe add "\\%Computer%\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Csc\Parameters" /v FormatDatabase /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

Add reg key remotely to laptop

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

Windows Batch

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
