Will this technique work for Win2000/XP domain clients?
Obviously the user account is in 'Documents and Settings' instead of 'profiles' so the batch needs to look there instead, but is anything else incompatible? Any of those registry entries obsolete?

When using the %0\\..\\Regchg.exe the script fails, if i remove the %0\\..\\ it seems to work, what can cause that problem..

Could these scripts be used to migrate windows 2000 workstations that are not part of a domain to a new windows 2000 active directory enabled domain?
I Have 60 computers that are part of a workgroup that I would like to integrate into the domain but without losing the users profiles.
Thanks.

REG.EXE does not replace the functionality of REGCHG.EXE. REGCHG.EXE had the unique functionality of changing a key which already exists or adding that key if it did not yet exist. REG.EXE separates those two actions into REG ADD and REG UPDATE. You would have to check for the existance of the key and then with an if/then statement either run REG ADD or REG UPDATE as appropriate. Or you can just find an old ResKit CD and get REGCHG.EXE off of it. :) Glad to see the scripts are still of value even 3+ years after we wrote them.

The batch files look great and will do exactly what I need - only problem is regchg no longer contained in Resource Kit. Has been replaced by reg, although syntax is different and would require modifying scripts - any chance?
