Anyone here who have any experience in scripting the windows registry?
Basically I have to make a script that will:
check the existence of a key:
if key exists:
check usergroup has read/write access
if not grant it
else
create empty key
modify permissions (see above)
end if
The short of the long is that m$ has made a err in 2k pro, which renders users unable to use citrix wan client 7.0+. The HKLM\Software\Micro...\MSLicensing key needs to allow either domain users or authenticated users read/write access, and does not by default. I have to distribute a cd to a shitload of users, I can't directly support. So I figured I could script my way out and correct the err, prior to installing the client. The problem is, I can not find a way to check for a specified usergroups permission in the registry, only as the current user, which doesn't help much, as they would most likely install as admin or a equiv. Since I can't guarantee they will be using a domain, I want to provide authenticated users the rights needed.
So far what I have is:
But as is quite evident, the crucial bits are missing
EDIT: Clarifying.

' Et par constants og variables:

strComputer = "."
strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSLicensing"
strEntryName = ""
Set ObjReg = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel = impersonate}!\\" & _
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
varMSLicensing = objReg.GetStringValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strKeyPath, strEntryname)
If varMSLicensing <> 0 then
Elseif varMsLicensing = 0 then
ObjReg.Createkey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strKeyPath)
