What I want to achieve is to enable LCS Video conferencing for a limited
group of users (simple enough application of security filtering) but
only when they are authenticated to a site from a list of appropriate
sites. So the logic would be:
if the user is in "Enable LCS Group" <-- Handled by security filtering
AND the user has logged into "Site_Permitted_For_LCS_Video" <- Handled
by vbscript
then enable it, <- Here lies the problem, as the user doesn't have
permission to this key (quite rightfully so I agree)
Else
leave it as it is.
The perfect solution would be to evaluate the site via WQL and filter
the GPO on that, is getting the site name back from a WQL query
possible?

Right. That's on purpose! Users should not be able to modify their
policy settings, otherwise Group Policy would be fairly useless J
I'm curious why you want users to be able to modify these settings?

I would of thought so too, and thought this task would be a no brainer,
check HCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Communicator on a XP SP2 build, it
is definitely set to read only for the user.

That doesn't sound right. If it is in HKCU the user should (by default)
be able to modify it.

All,
Is there a way to configure permissions on registry key in the HKCU
hive? I want to run a startup script that modifies a key in this hive
from the user portion of the GPO, but the user only has read only access
to it by default. Any ideas?
TIA,
Brad
