How to make changes to the default users hive as a post deployment task

We have had to make a change to default user's registry to about 15 images to save recapturing them.  Office 2012 was trying to re-register itself for every user on the deployed images.  This is the task I created to do this

start /wait reg load HKU\temphive c:\users\default\ntuser.dat

start /wait reg add "HKU\temphive\Software\MicroSoft\Office\14.0\Excel\Options" /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

start /wait reg add "HKU\temphive\Software\MicroSoft\Office\14.0\Word\Options" /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

start /wait reg unload HKU\temphive

  • Worked like a charm.
    Created my own version of this.

    reg load HKU\ntuser.dat c:\users\default\ntuser.dat
    reg import englishHKU.reg
    reg unload HKU\ntuser.dat

    Registry build up like this:
    [HKEY_USERS\ntuser.dat\Software\XXXXXXXX] - paul.theelen 12 years ago
  • True, depending on how many keys need altering you can load individual keys or merge a reg file with this method - SMal.tmcc 12 years ago
