Parse a Registration Entries (.reg) File

Hello group,

I am working on a C# app that pushes out registry settings to a number
of computers. My thought was to parse a registry export (.reg) file,
and then use RegistryKey.Ope nRemoteBaseKey to update the remote
computer.

Questions: is this a decent way of automating registry updates? Is
there any sample code on parsing .reg files?

Thanks in advance,

If the computers are part of a domain, I would use Group Policy to push
out the registry settings.

Good point. No, unfortunately, these servers are across different
domains and OUs.

I have a .reg file that I need to run across a network. Currently, we run it for each logon on the network manually, which is not really working well as there are over a hundred users and they don't necessarily all use their own machines all the time. How does the system administrator run a .reg file for all users on the network. If this is off topic, could you please direct me to an area where I might get a response. The reason for...

Hi, Does anybody knows how to run a *.reg-file silently on a computer? I need this to do automatic updates of my application without user-interaction. So I don't want the user to be asked a confirmation before writing everything to the registry, and I don't want a succes-or-error-message at the end. Any help would be really appreciated!

Hey everyone. I'm currently attempting to band-aid an horrible use of a Cacti implementation (and I swear, this is only temporary! No, really!

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
