Good evening, Tacobell2000.

Welcome aboard.

Telling from the 2 commandlines you give us, I tend to assume you may have misinterpreted the explanation on how the psexec commandline works. - No problem, because that's what the forum is here for.

I think you might start by going through this thread carefully: Deleting files using PsTools.

Though DiscipleDOC's starting point seems to be quite different from yours, the goal is more or less the same.

Follow the instruction given in that thread and feel free to use this final version of regrun.bat as a template and modify it to match your environment and your needs.

HTH,
Karl

Hello,

I have been asked to change a registry entry on all computers in the domain. There are about 1600 computers.We do not have SMS nor are we planning to buy it. I must do a registry change using psexec.

The key I must modify is a critical key that users do not have access to, I�ve downloaded and installed PsExec v.182. I wrote a bat file that says this:

psexec @listPC.txt -u DOMAIN\dom_admin -p password -low -c command.bat >> err.txt 2>>log.txt�.in the command.bat file I have written this:

psexec =listPC.txt "c:\windows\regedit -s \\c004392\c$\temp\temp2\java.reg" >> err.txt 2>>log.txt��.in the listPC.txt I have written the pcNames as c001234 and so on. The problem is when I double click the 1^st bat file it executes and gives me an error message stating that:

command.bat exited on c002763 with error code 1.

And the .reg file is:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Deployment\Policy]
"EnableSecureStaticVersioning"=dword:00000000

This works by double clicking on it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
