Windows 7: Write RegValue failed
|
Hello,
we use the LoginScript to write some values to the Registry.
In my migration tests to Windows 7 I notice, that it is not longer allowed to write to HKLM in user/admin-context.
e.g.
Code:
WriteValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\AdobeViewer","EULA","1","REG_DWORD")Error code: 5
I think this is about the new UAC/elevated rights...
How it is possible, to write via LoginScript to HKLM ?
Currently, my users have local admin rights.
kix32.exe and KiX scripts are located on \\dc-server\netlogon share.
best regards

I think that if you run it as a logonscript it will work correctly... Logonscripts run with elevated privledges that bypass UAC.
I am running it on win7 x64 and it works fine (so far) when run as the logonscript, when I run it via CMD, there are a number of items that do not (protected directories, reg values, etc) I am admin as well.

Unfortunately it doesn't work in a LoginScript ...
Where it is documented that LoginScripts runs with elevated privledges that bypass UAC ?
That would be really new for me.
In the ADUC, we set on the Profile-tab of an account the LoginScript login.cmd.
The LoginScript itself contain besides a few statements only
kix32.exe login_department.kix
Any other ideas ?

He meant a GPO Script.
