How to Modify and Access Registry in Windows Embedded Dell Wyse Client

Question

Hi

I would like to know if it is possible to access the regedit in Windows embedded 7 or 10 on Dell Wyse thin client? I really need know because
i need to perform the steps below. As you now Windows embedded has some many restriction on local policy. Thanks in advanced.

Log in to Wyse Thin Client using Administrator Account
Disabled Write Filtering temporarily
After disabled , go to Run Type Regedit > HKEY_Local_Machine>Software>Microsoft>MSLicensing
Rename> MSLicensing Like this : < MSlicensing.bak>
Open CMD run as administrator and enter the following :

Regsvr32 mstscax.dll

Answer 1

The short answer is yes, if regedit.exe is in the image(s). You will have to disable the Write Filter in the OS before any changes can be made. For WES7, this could be EWF (ewfmgr.exe) or FBWF (fbwfmgr.exe). For Windows 10, it would be UWF (uwfmgr.exe). If there are domain policies in place, you might want to remove the terminal from the domain and access the system in a local account.

Contacting Dell directly about their product would be a better avenue to get a definitive answer.

Weather you can create a backup of the registry key might be a question. What is the problem you're looking to solve?

Answer 2

Hi HomerSibayan-0286,

I put a .bat file, running pop the reg key from a network share, in the WMS File Repository, created and App Policy and scheduled it.

This worked well.

I hope this answers your question.
