Server 2012 Group Policy Script

  • 772

What is the best way through Group Policy to make a registry file run on logon for computers in a domain?

I'm testing on a Windows Server 2012, with Windows 8 clients.

I have created a Group Policy applied to a 'Computers' folder of which the computers are in, but the .reg file is not running on sign in.

  1. I think the best way is to use Group Policy Preferences.

    There are two places for these settings:

    Computer Config\Preferences\Windows Settings\Registry

    and

    User Config\Preferences\Windows Settings\Registry

    You can craft new registry settings for the recipients of this Group Policy in there.

    You can create HKLM and HKCU, etc., registry keys in either the User or Computer configuration areas. It's basically just a matter of whether you want the registry settings to apply as the computer logs on (e.g. during bootup) or if you want the registry settings to apply every time a user logs on.
