script to modify registry values

[ranadhir]

We need to modify the 'Interact with desktop' setting of a windows service through the registry.One of the options is to do this through a bat file invoking regedit.
Is there any other option through which registry entries can be manipulated through batch scripts?

You can use the Windows Resource kit tool REG.EXE which will allow you to make registry mods using a batch file instead of REGEDIT which requires a source file (.reg) in order to work. Hope this helps

Couple of other options in this thread.

When you are the IT director, it's your job to make sure the IT works. If it does work they know already and if it doesn't, they don't want to hear your pathetic excuses.

Here's the VBScript code that you'll need. I posted this earlier for a similar post. I demonstrate with the HKLM hive, but this can apply to other hives as well.

'begin script
Dim objShell
On error resume next
''''''''''''''
' Registry key
''''''''''''''
strRegLoc = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\<path>"
strKey = "<keyname>" 'key you'll be creating
strValue = "<value>" 'value within new key
''''''''''''''''''''''''
'write new key and value
''''''''''''''''''''''''
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.RegWrite strRegLoc & strKey, 1, "REG_SZ"
objShell.RegWrite strRegLoc & strKey,_
strValueLocal, "REG_SZ"
'end script

You'll need to enter your key name and value into the given script.

Then, create a new GPO, remove all administrative templates for faster policy processing. Go to the scripts section under the desired node (user or machine). Add this new logon or startup script. You'll need to place the .vbs file into its respective GPO directory.

Hope This Helps,

Good Luck!
