    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.

    You may want to look into using reg.exe from Microsoft, or using .reg
    files (via regedit /s).
