Does anyone know if it's possible to load and edit the registry hive
(NTUSER.DAT) of an NT Workstation user remotely using WSH?  I know it can be
done using C/C++ and Win32 API calls.

Thanks in advance,
Patrick

Take a look at RegObj.dll you can find it in the downloads section of my site.

Thanks for the quick response.

I downloaded the file and took a look at the docs.  It appears to let me load and edit the registry from a remote computer.

Now correct me if I'm wrong.  Based on my experience using RegEdit and RegEdit32 to edit WinNT registries remotely, you only have access to the user hives of the Default User and the user currently logged in.  What I need to do is to edit the hive of every user who has a local profile stored on the remote computer.  Is this possible using WSH, or will I have to write a Win32 app?

Have a look at regini.exe in the res kit.

I also highly recommend regobj.dll at Clarence's site. I use it for all of my remote admin on 70+ PCs. It's a great time saver. Also, I can do a lot of tweaking without getting in each user's face.
