Executable script for Registry modify for LogonPrompt possible?

[xAOx]

Hi all, I wasn't sure which thread to post this in but I assume programmers would have a better idea of what I'm looking for. Is it possible (is it downloadable lol), to get a script that will automatically modify the registry key like this:
In -
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\Winlogon
then -
Modify/Create the Value Name [LogonPrompt] according to the Value Data listed below.
Data Type: REG_SZ [String Value] // Value Name: LogonPrompt
Value Data: [Text will be entered here]
Exit Registry and Reboot

I basically need this so that each new PC that comes in, can automatically be adjusted to have a message telling employees to call a certain # for help.

Why not simply use a .REG file ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

Right, but how?
And while you're here is it possible to map a drive automatically with a batch file?

The reason I ask these questions is because we got 20 new computers in, and I have to manually install software to them and I'd save a lot of time if I can avoid browsing the registry in each one and mapping drives one by one.

is it possible to map a drive automatically with a batch file?
In a console window, type:
net use /?

There are many ways to accomplish your goal. GPO is the easiest. It will push down to all machines put on the network. You can use script too, but there is no real reason to.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Can you push down registry modifications? I know you can do scripts.

You can push down registry modifications with this free AD add on.

But you don't need to. What you are looking to do is already a standard GPO setting.

I hope you find this post helpful.
