Finding the Local Computer Policy in the Registry!

Locked

I am managing a computer network with about 60 machines running XP Pro. I am currently using a login.bat file from our server. I am looking to edit each machine?s Local Policy using the registry. I need to edit the Policy (Local Computer Policy\Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Remote Assistance) and change the Offer Remote Assistance Properties to Enabled and add users to that list. Does anyone know where I might find the entries in the registry? I think I might be able to figure out how to edit it using my batch file as I already am editing it to Turn Remote Desktop On and Remote Assistance On but I just need to know where this is at in the registry! Thanks in Advance for any given!

Try this one… Took me FOREVER to find it…

These settings will allow anyone in the administrators group the ability to accept unsolicited remote assistance…

I also noticed that you are pushing out the other necessary keys, so I omit those for brevity.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services]
“fAllowUnsolicited”=dword:00000001
“fAllowUnsolicitedFullControl”=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services\RAUnsolicit]
“Administrators”=”Administrators”

Good luck, Sir.
