How do you set up a pakage to make a registry change

[FCoda10]

I was looking for a way to make changes to clients registry from SMS. Is there a way to set up a package to do this. For example I wanted to make a standard company wall paper and have it set on all the machines.

Try making the changes you want to a reference comouter. Then in regedit export the key information. This will take the format of a .reg file. Put a call for the .reg file in a batch file and then roll out the batch file using SMS. If you ever have problems with users and roaming profiles, its sometimes handy to copu the reg files to each machine, I copy them to a folder called wint\regchange, if a user phones with a problem ie, Internet Explorer has lost proxy settings, I direct them to this folder and get them to double click the file, this updates the registry and bingo its working again

Run SMS Installer in script Editor mode and use the variable "Edit Registry". Just be careful that you match the case of the registry key/value though.

This is by far the easiest method.

regedit.exe /s filename.reg

this will import the reg file silently, granted you know how to make the reg file (export from regedit).
