masoncooper Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 We are running our users as 'Users' (as opposed to local admins) and registry editing is disabled so the built-in apps such as reg.exe and regedit/regedt32 will not run in the users context. Our problem is that I would like to push some registry changes in the form of a .reg file to our users to modify their HKCU hive (which they DO have rights to). Pushing a regedit /s {path}\file.reg produces the message that registry editing has been disabled.Is there some other process or application that can take a standard .reg file and modify the registry? I can't run this as an admin because it's the HKCU hive which is specific to that user and I have a fairly large number of entries so it needs to be fairly hands-off meaning a custom group policy is out of the question. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosh Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 The policy only disables regedit and reg.exe, im pretty sure you can use a 3rd party registry editor to import the changes.-gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masoncooper Posted June 29, 2004 Author Share Posted June 29, 2004 Does anyone know of a command-line and free app that can merge registry files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
