I've spent a few miniutes using search but I haven't come up with samples (samples are good) on how to apply a registry file.

Quick background, the AMC NOSC in its wisom applied a GPO against our OU (921 machines) that only 245 machines should have gotten.  Their fix in this matter is to send me a regfile and tell the helpdesk to go out logon as administrators and then double click on said reg file and our problems will go away.

How can I do this via VBS?  Would it be as easy as:


      

Or, is there another way?

Status: offline 		Sure, as soon as I get it working. 

The logic is detect if client is a SDC compliant client, if so, exit script.
If not a SDC compliant client then apply reg file.

The script has to be run under the local admin account security context.

I'm working on the SDC detection logic now using the WMI service.

You must be at an USAF base, huh?

Status: offline 		They will remove the GPO this Friday.  I have got the script working, but I think the USAF NOSC guy sent me the wrong reg file, because the settings look just like the settings set for locking the desktop when the CAC card is removed.

This is the reg file they sent me:


      

See where the Value Type is set to a value of (1).  That means to lock workstation on card removal.
This afternoon I'm going to do a few tests to confirm my suspicions.

It is easy enough to change the value to (0) and that is what I think it should be ...

You aren't an SC or A6 troop are you?

As far as the reg ... i checked it against my settings ... they are identical to what I got. and I can pull the card out with nothing happening. I think they just gave you the wrong reg key.

shoot me an email @ global > auab > lord (should be the only one there /w caoc cst in the display name) and I will hook you up with all the SeCEdit keys I got

PS - Thanks for the .Reg

Status: offline 		What they gave me is the key set to lock desktop upon card removal. The valuetype parameter has to be set to '0' for the feature not to lock the desktop on non-SDC clients.  If the client is SDCed, it appears changing the value doesn't make any difference - maybe, they have a GPO controlling that behavior ... I don't know.

My boss is fixin' to go down range and will BOG at a yet undisclosed location 5 Jan 2007.  You're just TDY, right, with your home base being Goodfellow?

As far as what they gave you ... they gave you what I already have.  And I can remove my card with nothing happening ... either they gave you the wrong key, or there is another key that needs to be changed as well
