logon script to modify registry setting

[Jason Bachman]

That's interesting.  I have always made the changes in my Ntconfig.pol file
on the netlogon share of the server and they took affect on the next user
logon.  Do you have remote update enabled in the policy?

Subject: logon script to modify registry setting



Hi,

I am having a problem with large profile sizes, so I've modified my
NTConfig.pol to restrict profile sizes and to exclude directories in the
roaming profile.  However, this will only take affect on new user logons,
correct?  Anyone who has been logging in will still have a large profile
and won't be affected by the Policy Editor, right?  So I was going to try
to use the netlogon\scripts option and write a script that would make a
change to the user's registry when they logged in:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

ExcludeProfileDirs

I know regedit.exe can do this, but how do I write a script to modify the
registry?

I can't just say:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"ExcludeProfileDirs"=REG_SZ:Temporary Internet Files

Any suggestions?  I'm running Samba-2.0.7 as a PDC.

Thanks,

Melissa
