Hi,

I am having trouble updateing the ntuser.dat a logged in user from a script.
The background to this, is a citrix farm that publishs this script to update
the users registry. I'm not entirely sure as to how the whole ntuser.dat
roaming profile works but I think that when the  user logs in, the
ntuser.dat is loaded into HKEY_USERS field of the server. It is from here
that all references to HKEY_CURRENT_USER is made. So my script updates this
without any trouble. But when this exits, and the whole saving its settings
process finishes the ntuser.dat had not been updated. If I check the server
the HKEY_USERS has been udpated, but this update has not been passed back to
the ntuser.dat. What am I doing wrong? 

For example: 

Set WshShell=CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") 
WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Tomsoft\Tomkey", "tomval", "REG_SZ"

will update the HKEY_CURRENT_USER (stored under HKEY_USERS on the server
reg) but on the script finishing the ntuser.dat isn't updated.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom
