Add regkey to TS users HKCU

Windows Server 2003 SP2 TS.

 

I need to add a simple registry key to all my TS users HKCU hive. I googled

and found an old post from Vera and tried adding "regedit newreg.reg"

command to my login scripts but the users get a permission error - "Cannot

import

newreg.reg: Error accessing the registry." . It seems they aren't allowed

to add new keys to their HKCU hive (it doesn't work manually either unless

they are admins). Short of giving them all admin permissions until it's

done is there another way?

 

I know this must be simple but I can't find a solution that works. I'd

rather not get into GPO's or VBscript if I can help it...

 

Thanks

Re: Add regkey to TS users HKCU

 

I believe running regedit requires admin permissions.

Can you try using reg.exe ?

type reg.exe /? for its options.

Thanks

Re: Add regkey to TS users HKCU

 

reg.exe is definitely the way to do this.

Re: Add regkey to TS users HKCU

 

So reg.exe doesn't need admin permissions like regedit? I will give it a

try.

 

Thanks to all.

Re: Add regkey to TS users HKCU

 

Doesn't work - still get "ERROR: Access is denied. - just trying to add a

key to HKCU.

 

I think this has to do with running TS2003 in "Full Security" mode rather

than "Relaxed security".

 

Do I need to turn this off?

Re: Add regkey to TS users HKCU

 

Full Security does not add the members of the Terminal Server Users Group to

the Power Users Group like Relaxed Security does. If you value your

environment, NEVER, EVER put a TS in relaxed/legacy security mode.

 

You many just have restricted access to registry editing tools via GPO or

local policy. you could also try "regedit.exe /s regfile.reg", where the

settings you want to apply are in the regfile, that was exported via regedit.

The /s switch means silent.

Re: Add regkey to TS users HKCU

 

The regedit method is what I tried first and it failed with permission error

as well.

 

As I understand it, login scripts are run with the permissions of the

current user so users would need permission to add keys to HKCU if my script

was to work. They don't seem to have these permissions however so how do I

change it?

 

I would have thought adding keys to the users own registry would be allowed

but apparently not by default...

Re: Add regkey to TS users HKCU

 

Users typically have owner permissions to their hive, so I suspect that the

error message is that users are not being allowed to use the reg.exe or

regedit.exe. Can you verify that a user can open one of these programs?

Re: Add regkey to TS users HKCU

 

How about checking group policy to see if they have been revoked rights

to modify the registry.....

Re: Add regkey to TS users HKCU

 

That's the issue, the users don't have permission to the

HKCU/software/policy keys I want to write, checked with regedit. This is a

one-time change, so I may just make the users admins for the day (without

telling them) and when they login lock it back up.

 

Unless there is an easier way of simply adding a new key to every users

registry from the TS console.

Re: Add regkey to TS users HKCU

 

Anything under that key is controlled by Group Policy. Why would you

want to manually edit those entries? So yes, there is a much easier way

of adding those entries.

OK, I give up - I'll look for the GP settings for that. Just need the ADM

template IIRC...

Re: Add regkey to TS users HKCU

 

What exactly are you trying to do? What setting are you looking for?

Re: Add regkey to TS users HKCU

 

I'm trying to use an Exchange "Outlook Security Settings" folder for

attachment security to block ZIP files for some of our users.

 

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/885682

 

It's works on all the normal PC's on the LAN but I can't get it to work on

the TS clients. I added the GP and confirmed that the regkey is set for the

TS user (that works now) but Outlook 2003 running in the TS session justs

ignores the setting and lets the ZIP's through. Not sure if this a TS issue

or not...

Have you run an RSOP to confirm that the setting is actually being applied?

Re: Add regkey to TS users HKCU

 

Yes, the setting was there.

 

Found my issue anyways. The form I used to create the original "Outlook

Security Settings" folder needed to be updated to the latest version.

Nothing to do with TS in the end...

 

Thanks a lot.
