I have created a 2 reg files (one for Win98 and W2k) that I need to distribute to everyone in the company. The quickest way I could think of is to put something in the Novell login script that put these changes into effect. How do I execute Windows reg files from a Novell 5.1 login script? Expediency is of utmost importance here. Thanks

After the network drives are mapped:

IF OS = "WIN95" THEN
#regedit /S Z:\UPDATE\WIN98.REG
END
IF OS = "WINDOWS_NT" THEN
#regedit /S Z:\UPDATE\WINNT.REG
END

I made a change to the question yesterday but for some reason it did not go through. I found a way to make the registry change but I need a way to record each machine that has completed the change. I thought about somehow capturing the machine name and writing a txt file in a certain directory for each machine (\\share\complete\machine1.txt) or creating a logfile so that when the registry change was made, it would append the machine name in the file. Problem is, I can't figure out how to do either in a mixed Windows 2000 and Win98 environment. Thanks to both of you for answering. Your answers were both acceptable for the original problem and I apologize for my changes not making it in. I wish there was another way to rate this question....

If you need to make this kind of changes often, you may want to look at useing ZENWorks. It handles this type of changes easily.
