Is there a script to edit a remote PC registry?

Post by despinal » Tue Aug 16, 2005 2:23 pm

I'm trying to create some sort of vbscript that will:

read a comma delimited file
take the values in this sheet on line by line basis
enter the info into the registry of a remote machine

Is this possible?

The front end to create the reg file from a csv file should not be too difficult.

The toughest part may be writing to the registry in the remote machine.

You will have to include something like pcAnyWhere, Remote Access, etc. or someother remote connection that will allow you to run a reg file on the remote system.

OR, you could have a scheduled routine to Run a reg file that you might be able to upload in advance with ftp or some other process.
Hope this was helpful..................good luck,
