Using the REG Commands

There are a lot of options and switches for the REG command. There are options to query, add, and delete keys, subkeys, and value names

reg add 2

The reason I have blogged about this is that we had to set some keys at my work and this works quite nicely if you write a bat script containing your relevant REG commands and add this to a GPO at User Logon

reg add

Writing a quick bat script

This is an example of something quick and easy to use

  • Open Notepad
  • Type Echo Off at the top to stop users seeing the script scrolling through
  • Look at the script below and see some of the switches and where to put quote marks etc

TestApp

  • The various switches you can use are listed in the screeprint above
  • You can then put this script for example on the C:\ of the server
  • Open Group Policy Management and create a new GPO
  • Navigate to User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > System > Logon > Run these programs at user logon

app2

  • Click Show and type in the name of your script

app1

  • Link GPO to the Computer OU you need this applied to
  • Finish
