How do you deploy registry changes from your Admin PC to a client's PC?

[anoble1]

Hi,

I have a program that pulls a PC's information remotely through the PC name or IP Address. I was wondering if anyone has made anything that can deploy reg changes from your pc to another PC? Example, I use SCCM to remote into a PC. every once in a while I have to edit their registry from my pc before i can log in to their machine and change the remote control key to 0 before the SCCM will work. If I can pull WMI info from a machine, is there a way for me to click a button and have it modify their registry?

Yes, WMI can write to the registry of a remote machine. We have a WMI tutorial here: http://bytes.com/topic/access/insigh...n-wmi-tutorial.

While it does not deal with your specific situation, it does layout the basics. Then you would just need to look up your registry class in Microsoft's WMI documentation to get the specific methods you would need to use.

I am able now to connect to the remote PC, and gather WMI data, but just can't figure out how to deploy Reg Hacks to their machine and make value changes with the click of a button. Would be really cool. Very nice code above though.

The Windows documentation on the registry class has an example on how to write to the registry. There should now be a link to the WMI documentation in the tutorial.
