I would recommend the vbscript approach for both the GPO and manual
push- with a vbscript you can easily add some logic and reporting
functionality and you can run it as a computer startup or shutdown
script- or remotely/manually from an administrators workstation-as long
as the firewall, AV and antispyware packages allow it.
With an MSI in a GPO- I don't think there is any tracking options unless
you build it into the package, right or wrong?
Also for the fastest roll out- using a shutdown or startup script for a
computer works well- unless your users have admin rights on the
workstations they will not be able to add or modify this key from a
login script unless you add some runas elevation to the script.
With a computer startup or shutdown script- you can add the .reg file
right into the script folder for the GPO itself then add a .bat file
with the line "regedit /s mykeys.reg" and that will be that. But no
reporting or logic with the one line batch file- but no complicated MSI
packages and no vbscript--unless you want to use one of those solutions.
I don't think regedit has an issue going to a UNC but during a computer
startup script I would think that maybe SYSTEM or the actual computer
account in AD would need to have read rights to the share folder that
has the file. That is why I would place it right into the GPO folder and
use a computer script to avoid those hassles.

Only curious here, but is there a reason you're not just running a login
script with the line "regedit \\YourDC\Netlogon\ZipRegistryKey.reg"? I
can't recall if Regedit recognizes UNC names, but even if it doesn't,
using "net use t: \\YourDC\Netlogon" (or whatever drive you wanted) and
then removing the mapping immediately afterwards would work.

you can also make a one time loginscript and hook it on a gpo :) with
vbscript you can regwrite the key's easy.

Well, given that this is a group policy mailing list... J
If you don't have a software distribution tool, then how about psexec
from sysinternals?

Hi All...
How do I push out a .Reg to all of the machines on the network without
using GP?
I want to add the .Zip key which was removed by accident; I have created
a MSI but would prefer doing this without policy as it would be cleaner.
