How to set default registry value for all users in reference PC

Question

Using Deployment Workbench (ver 6.3.8456.1)
I created a Deployment share to install Window 10,
and the Task sequence does a lot of things.
Installing applications, adding computer settings, Global Policy settings etc

It creates 2 users: admin and a non admin user.

Now I like to set registry setting for both users.
Not just for admin user.

But the result of the registry script that are ran is that only the admin user registry settings are changed.

-Is there a simple way to also set registry values for non admin users?

For example:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
MenuDropAlignment 0

(Set MenuDropAlignment to Left hand for all users)

best regards

Answer 1

Hi @Johan Dahlin ,

I think the easiest way is to use the Group Policy objects for adding registry keys.

You can use a security filtering for applying values for certain users.

Deploy a registry key via group policy.

Hello,

You can use Group Policy to accomplish such deployment.

Hi,

We recommend to create a logon script through Group Policy Object after deploy client computers. It would be more convenient to apply.
