samba - May 2003 - Editing the registry on NT clients

Hi all,

I seem to remember that some time ago (after some nasty VBScript virus
or other) that there were postings to the list about how a registry
change could be rolled out to all the client workstations with Samba. Of
course, now I'd like to try it, I can't find the details any more. Can
anyone tell me how its done? I thought there was functionality in
rpcclient, but can't find it...

Mike.

I usually pass out registry changes in logon scripts using reg files. You
can use:

regedit /s \\server\netlogon\someupdate.reg
,
to silently slip some values into a users registry. They must have
permission, however, to update the registry. i have been fooling with runas
but nothing concrete yet.

Jim

That's the problem - I want to insert stuff into HKLM, and the user
won't have permission at login to make that change.

I'd be interested if you come up with anything.
