Here is an example of a WSH script using the REG.EXE. This script copies the settings in the registry of Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition to a folder. It's basically doing a registry export from the command line versus using the regedit.exe GUI. This is a working script for those of you using Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition. I use it to backup my settings to another server in case of a server crash (saves time instead of restoring from a tape). Use "reg.exe Import" to put information back into the registry. Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") objShell.Exec "%comspec% /k reg.exe Export HKLM\Software\Intel\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion C:\temp\Registry.reg" 'Wscript.Echo "Backup Complete" & vbNewLine & "Contents copied to some secrete location" Thanks.

I was wondering does anyone in here know where I could find out how to
run a batch file to write to the registry?
I'm asking because for security issues that we have to upgrade for a
couple of machines. I just want the batch file to run rather then going
manual into the registry.
You may want to look into using reg.exe from Microsoft, or using .reg files (via regedit /s).
