[THIN] Re: Changing Registry permissions

Neil,

Unfortunately I didn’t, I inherited this, I came from a Unix world and I am still learning the windows stuff, we had a consultant set everything up, then he dropped off the face of the earth. I have learned a lot about AD and policies, but I am quite the novice compared to you all, which is why I ask for help. I prefer to look dumb and ask obvious questions, that just ‘try it’ and screw something up. One thing out friendly consultant did was create a group called “Many Rights” and then made everyone a member of it, well, “Many Rights” was just another name for Administrator, so everyone could do anything, what a flipping mess that was, he did it because there was a permissions issue and instead of figuring it out and fixing it, he just made “Many Rights”, I finally figured out the issue and fixed it, and removed “Many Rights”. So I know I have to change permissions on some Registry Keys, but have only a slight idea how, and I know I have to have permission as Administrator, but have no idea how to fix that. So any and all help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thank You

Um, how did you disable it? ;-)

 

To get that message, there's a policy being applied. Wouldn't you, as the administrator, have created that policy (especially as it appears to affect the administrator, too)?

That message is policy based (registry editing has been disabled).

I tried REGINI.EXE and I get… “Error: Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator.”

I am the administrator, how do I enable editing? Windows 2003 server.

Thank You

Two choices immediately come to mind…

Hi all,  how can change registry permission on a registry key in an automated way?
When executing a *.reg file, does it also modify permissions?
