How to deploy a registry key

[Symantec2014]

Does anyone know how i can deploy a registry key to computer?

Should i use Quick Delivery?

Do i need to create a script to do it?

Can you recommend the best method, thanks

 

I'm using Altiris 7.5 SP1

Hi!

You can use a "Script Task" and execute it on all required managed endpoints.

Here is an example of such task creation and execution:

Although there are a few different ways to so this via Altiris, but depending on what it is for, GPO or GPO pref may be the best way to go if you are in an MS domain environment. Regards, Darren.

If I couldn't use Group Policy I'd create a Software Release for it with no package and a command line of: CMD /C "reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft..." /v Name /t REG_SZ /d data /f"

You don't need to put the cmd /c in the script.

Create a Command Script and use the below:

reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\..." /v (value name)  /t (reg type) /d (data value) /f

I got distracted, I forgot to add that I use a Software Release so i can use Detection Rules to make sure it's been applied successfully and will run when the PC is next turned on, not time out after 30 mins.

Thought I would throw this out there...we've used this with a lot of success:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/reg2exe/

Export a desired reg key and use this program to convert it to an exe.

Deliver like any other EXE and execute.
