How to apply a registry entry for all Citrix users
Where do I make this registry entry so it will be applied to all Citrix logins?
Or "How do I get an existing registry entry so it will apply to all users?
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Softwar e\TechSmit h\SnagIt\1 2\Updater]
"LastCheck"=hex(b):00,00,0 0,00,00,00 ,00,00
"DaysBetween"=dword:000000 0e
"PromptToCheck"=dword:0000 0001
"AllowDateBasedCheck"=dwor d:00000000

You really just need this part of the instructions.
in your exported reg file replace all instances of [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ with [HKEY_USERS\NAMEHERE\ (or whatever you named your hive) and save the file. double click the reg file to merge it.

Is this what you mean?
[HKEY_USER\Software\TechSm ith\SnagIt \12\Update r]
"LastCheck"=hex(b):00,00,0 0,00,00,00 ,00,00
"DaysBetween"=dword:000000 0e
"PromptToCheck"=dword:0000 0001
"AllowDateBasedCheck"=dwor d:00000000
[HKEY_USER\Software\TechSm
"LastCheck"=hex(b):00,00,0
"DaysBetween"=dword:000000
"PromptToCheck"=dword:0000
"AllowDateBasedCheck"=dwor
[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Softw are\TechSm ith\SnagIt \12\Update r] <-- try this one.... of course make a back up first.
Sorry... I meant to say edit that in.....

So I think you're suggesting I add an entry in HKEY_USER for "Update" and then add the DWORDS there?

@David Thanks - I was researching a better solution. Yours is a better and safer solution then what I had.

I'm working on it now. I'll post soon

In your video, after you created the prompttocheck, the rest of the video was partially off the screen, so I could see it.
ASKER
The only one I couldn't see was lastcheck. However, at the end of the video I saw the settings. REG_QWORD, valuse data 0. Correct?
Please confirm this entry will "stop" from checking for updates and the users will no longer get popups?

The other item I don't understand, is this is applied to HKEY_Current_User. Won't that only apply to the user that I'm logged on as?
The GPO will add the registry items to the current user
You asked how to add the registry items to all citrix users in a domain.
I assumed that you have an OU for that
As for does it stop snagit from wanting to update.. I have no idea.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TechSmith\SnagIt\12]
"NoRegistrationDiaglogSupport"=dword:00000001
"NoAutoUpdateSupport"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TechSmith\SnagIt\12\Updater]
"LastCheck"=hex(b):00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"DaysBetween"=dword:0000000e
"PromptToCheck"=dword:00000000
"AllowDateBasedCheck"=dword:00000000
I changed it from Snagit 11 to Snagit 12. Note the first 2 added entries
ASKER
The OU has the Citrix Servers in it. Nothing to do with the users. I have an OU for Citrix Users. So should I apply the GPO to that OU and not the Servers?
it is a user policy not a machine policy so set it for the Citrix Users OU

I fixed the errors I previously posted. It is now being added to the registry key.
What do I enter in DaysBetween so it doesn't check? Or should I just change it to 365? Would 0 stop it from checking?
In PromptTocheck if I change it to 0 will it then never prompt?

@shaun http://www.runecasters.com.au/reg2gpp/ once you press upload you get a 404 page.
better to use
'NoAutoUpdateSupport' DWORD 1.

I'm confused. Why would there be DaysBetween, PromptToCheck and NoAutoUpdateSupport? I would think only the NoAutoUpdateSupport, would be needed?
I agree with you, but I'm a belt and suspenders guy
ASKER
So give me your suggestion, please.
