I haven't tried this yet, but it looks like a possible solution: netsh dhcp server dump > dhcpconfig.dmp this creates a *.dmp file with the dhcp configuration. What I haven't tried yet is editing this file and trying to import it. Has anyone done this before?

I currently have 16 scopes set up in DHCP, one for each subnet. However, I would like to combine these scopes into a single scope and a single subnet. I have these setup for static DHCP through their MAC addresses so I would like a way to just move each computeres configuration into the new larger scope without having to manually remove them and set them back up. For example: This is what I currently have: 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.240 16 scopes for 16 subnets This is what I would like to have: 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 1 scope for 1 subnet Any ideas?

mmx - Yes, we have the registry editors disabled. I found a little program called "regpol" that claims it can merge the registry files no matter what the permissions, but I'm a little skeptical as there's little to no documentation on this application. cluberti - The only problems we really have with SAV 10.0.0.359 are the DoScan.exe errors everytime a user logs on and an occasional RtvScan.exe error, which is what leads me to the silent merge of the RemoveStartScan.exe

Thanks, I'll look into the VB scripting since putting the admin password out there unencrypted is not an option. The overall problem, and the reason I need to load this registry key everytime a user logs on traces back to Symantec AntiVirus. My corp. is running 10.0 and everyone was receiving DoScan.exe errors. We tried running the Symantec service on all of the machines as admin, but it kept dropping the logon priveledges for the service and knew that shouldn't be the final fix. So I found out Symantec has a RemoveStartScan.reg file that can be run to stop the scans at startup, but it has to be run everytime a user logs on. This got rid of the DoScan.exe errors, but introduced the registry merge popup I stated above. I heard 10.1 fixes this solution, but that costs $$ The RemoveStartScan.reg changes HKCU settings.

As I said in my original post, I've tried "regedit /s logon.reg" and the users don't have permission to change the registry. I need a way to either run the batch file as an administrator or I need a way for the .reg file itself to "click" yes.

I have a logon.reg file that needs to be merged everytime a user logs onto a machine. I've tried placing the logon.reg file in Group Policy under "Run these programs at user logon" but my users receive the "are you sure you want to add the information in ... to the registry?" So I did some research and found out I could create a logon batch file to start the import with the following "regedit /s logon.reg" However, when a normal user logs on they don't have permission to change the registry so as the cmd box pops up I can see "access denied" scroll through and the merge doesn't happen. Is there something I can add in the logon.reg file to automatically click yes instead of prompting my users?
