Reg command Mike 13.07.2007 14:18:00 I am trying to load a user hive from a UNC path. When I do this I get access denied. I can do this from a Windows XP machine. If I copy the file locally I can the load the hive. What is preventing me from loading it through a UNC path?

RE: Reg command Spenceation 13.07.2007 15:08:02 If you are running this on the command prompt make sure you are using either the Run As command, or run the command prompt with admin privlileges. UAC will not appear during the command prompt. "Mike" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I am trying to load a user hive from a UNC path. When I do this I get access > denied.

RE: Reg command Mike 13.07.2007 15:28:03 I am running this with admin privileges. I turned off UAC as well. This problem is even reproduced with Regedit. Open Regedit and select HKLM Click File and Load Hive Navigate to a NTUSER.DAT file located on a network share Give the key a name and select OK. Access denied. Is this a new security feature with Vista and if so how do you undo it?

RE: Reg command Spenceation 13.07.2007 15:44:09 Try running this command with the actual administrator account, this account bypasses alot of UAC and vista restrictions.

Re: Reg command Mike 13.07.2007 16:52:02 Same result. I think it has something to do with a policy from somewhere. What I mean. I have a Vista and XP machine in the same OU with the same policy being applied to them both. I can load a registry hive under XP but not Vista. I then made a RDP connection to a Vista machine off our domain. Opened Regedit and repeated the same steps and I can load the registry hive. Do you think it has anything to do with a trusted path that Vista looks at more closely than XP did? "dean-dean" wrote: [Quoted Text] > For lack of a better idea, try this.

Re: Reg command Spenceation 13.07.2007 17:08:04 Are you trying to load this hive over the network? Vista does restrict certain registry paths from being editted remotely. System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog Software\Microsoft\OLAP Server Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\UserConfig System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\DefaultUserConfiguration Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SysmonLog These paths are allowed to be remotely accessible and their sub-paths. These settings are stored in the security settings of group poilicy under: Network Access: Remotely accessible registry paths and sub-paths Since the machines share the same OU try running a Result of Policies to see if any settings differ. Also open Regedit and right click on the hive that you are editting and select permissions. The default permissions might be different on this machine due to the OUs or other reasons. If your account has permissions and you are locally logged in, you should be able to edit the registry without error.

Re: Reg command Mike 13.07.2007 18:18:01 Found it. XP does not contain Network access: Remotely accessible registry paths and subpaths. So this is probably blocking me. So if I understand this correctly, this list provides which keys can be editted when you load a hive. When a user's hive is loaded (NTUSER.DAT), is it then scanned to see if there isn't anything violating the list? If so, you get access denied?

Re: Reg command Spenceation 13.07.2007 18:22:02 Correct. Any other registry hives will be blocked if it isn't listed or a sub-path of a hive on that list remotely. If you are applying this to multiple machines, try one first and then see the results. Hopefully this will fix it. Let me know, I'm curious if that is what is blocking it.

Re: Reg command Mike 13.07.2007 19:00:03 I removed the entries from the list. Thinking this would disable the setting. Same result. I then added back to the list the top most keys of the hive (AppEvents, Console, Control Panel, Environment, Identities, Keyboard Layout, Printers, Software, UNICODE Program Groups) and again the same result. I still don't know if the setting is actually blocking me or not. I did do a gpupdate /force and restart between changes. "Spenceation" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Correct.
