    Reg.exe, not regedit.exe. It can be scripted in a single for loop just like
    psexec.

    Yes...but not easily scripted like you can with psexec....with a list of
    computer names (from new view maybe) a single "for" loop could hit all the
    machines with psexec automatically.

    ie:

    for /F %i in (computers.txt) do psexec -i -u domain\user -p password -d \\%i
    "regedit" "/s \\server\share\file.reg"

    IMHO, this is much easier than manually hitting several machines with the
    regedit GUI.

    No need for that. reg.exe can be used against remote computers.
