Registry permissions

[STEWARTH]

I need to give Read Permissions on a registry key to the local Users group (Win 2K). I want to to this via a script of some sort. The REGINI utility has no functionality to give the local Users group permissions (the Everyone group is not an acceptable substitute unfortunately).

Any ideas how I can achieve this?

Hi,

what about running regedt32.exe and select the security|permissions menu item.

Hi,

I've come across this at

http://www.winscripter.com,

I'm sure you can make this work and regarding registry and editing you just need to know about regWrite, regRead and regDelete.

/* Create Shell Object */
ws = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" );

/* Write Data to registry */
var regkey = "HKLM\\Hardware\\Description\\System\\CentralProcessor\\0\\VendorIdentifier";
ws.RegWrite( regkey, "GenuineIntel" );

/* Tell the users what happened */
WScript.Echo( "Reset Registry to GenuineIntel" );

Hope this helps
