Does anyone know if it's possible to import a *.reg file from the command prompt to a REMOTE pc. I'm trying to install software remotely from my desktop. I can share the drives and copy the files and folders over, but some programs require registry changes and that's the part I'm having trouble with. I want to be able to be selective with the PCs that get the changes, so I don't want to put a "regedit /s xxxx.reg" command in the logon script and I also don't want to have to go to 300 different PCs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. anthony

I don't know about using a command prompt, but by using REGEDT32.exe you can connect to the registry of remote computers and "restore" a key. Be very carefull with this because it can delete other subkeys and values. Try it out on a test PC first. Be sure to save the key as a safety copy first. Good luck. Andy

If you know the names of the systems or perhaps you could copy a unque file on to them then set up a bat file to look for that file if present run X reg file. use the REGEDIT /S option so users won't get the pesky importing reg key and success dialog boxes. Good Luck Perry

Good regedit - remote (LAN) access: jv16pt_setup.exe from http://www.webattack.com/Freeware/system/fwregtools.shtml -- GOOD I need an regedit that can import *.dat files and edit (other then your hive) have you heard about any?
