Changing REGISTRY Permissions via script

Ken Chapi #1 / 6	Changing REGISTRY Permissions via script Hello all, I've been tinkering with REGINI.EXE for quite some time now and I'm not impressed with the limitation of decimal ACL's (I can't seem to figure out how to give the USERS group full control). Is there a way to set REGISTRY permissions via script or am I overlooking something with REGINI.EXE. Supposedly REGDMP.EXE will reveal the decimal ACL on a key but I have yet to see it actually do it. Any help is appreciated! THANKS! Ken Chapin

Tony Cove #2 / 6	Changing REGISTRY Permissions via script Ken, You can use ADSSecurity.dll which is part of the ADSI resource kit. There are a couple of 3rd party solutions as well. PedestalSoftware's (www.pedestalsoft.com) NTSEC package comes with a nice COM object for this sort fo thing. But given that Pedestal's is over $100, and Microsoft's AdsSecurity.dll is a free download you might want to start with MS.

Ken Chapi #4 / 6	Changing REGISTRY Permissions via script Thanks for the prompt reply Tony, The ADSI Resource Kit would be a good way to go. Maybe I can use it when we switch to Active Directory. Unfortunately, we are not ready to do that just yet. Thanks for the help! Much appreciated!

Anyway, I would have considered to use SetACL.exe to do this. See my other post. -- torgeir Microsoft MVP Scripting and WMI Porsgrunn Norway

Ken Chapi #6 / 6	Changing REGISTRY Permissions via script EXCELLENT!!! Kinda ironic though as we will be switching to Office 2000 in the near future. I needed this mostly to change permissions on keys for Office 97 products. THANKS TONS!
