modify registry settings using WSH jerzdevs <jerzdevs[ at ]gmail.com> 10/6/2008 7:00:17 PM Can anyone send me to a link that shows some samples of modifying existing regkey values? I bought an MSWindows scripting book but it sort of takes the approach that one already knows how to script. Here's what it says in the book: set objShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.Shell") objShell.regWrite "HKU\TestKey\version" , 56, "REG_DWORD" I'm trying to do something similar but with HKL so here's what I was trying: set objShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.Shell") objShell.regWrite "HKLM\software\fm\support\poc\wintelpoc" , myname, "value data" So basically, I was just given 230 servers to support and we use a product called BindView to report on server information. We created a key (string value) named 'wintelpoc' (for our Wintel Point Of Contact) and I need to change the value to my name. Thanks to anyone who can help.

You also can do this remotely (if you have permissions).
