Merging registry info to location that changes per computer...

[dotobi]

Hi

I'm trying to merge certain registry info to the registry during a logon script. THe trouble is that one of the entries slightly changes per PC.

I took 3 example PCs and the locations were:
1st PC
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2036979091-2930340268-25859868-1177

2nd PC
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2036979091-2930340268-25859868-1178

3rd PC
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2036979091-2930340268-25859868-1188

As you can see, the locations are almost identical except for the last 2 digits. So using regedit /s "name_of_file.reg", could the key inside be something like "HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2036979091-2930340268-25859868-11*" (wildcard at the end) or similar?

We're using Windows XP Pro SP2 for all the cients PCs with a Small Business Server 2003 SP2 Server.

Thanks

Actually, this key seems to change per user.

On one PC..

The 1st user was:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2036979091-2930340268-25859868-1188

The 2nd user was:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2036979091-2930340268-25859868-1135

Thanks

Actually. Justr figured out that HKEY_CURRENT_USER is just a map to the surrent user's entry within HKEY_USERS so this is OK.

Thanks
