[wpkg-users] Applying registry entry to all users (HKCU)

[Jon Rhoades]

Awesome! 

<install cmd='reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\wpkgEnableOutlookEncryption" /v "Version" /d "2" /t REG_SZ /f' /> 

<install cmd='reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\wpkgEnableOutlookEncryption" /v "StubPath" /d "reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\RPC /v "EnableRPCEncryption" /d "1" /t REG_DWORD /f"' /> 

Worked perfectly (just needed to add "" around the registry key due to spaces ;)). I'll update the Wiki on adding registry settings to include this technique.

Hi, 

We need to force encryption between Outlook & Exchange as it's being updated to 2010. The recommended way is to apply a Group policy, but since we have Samba... 

The registry key we need to set is: 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\RPC\EnableRPCEncryption with a DWORD value of 1. 

I would normally do something like: 
<install cmd='reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\RPC /v "EnableRPCEncryption" /d "1" /t REG_DWORD /f' /> 

But of course this is applied to the WPKG admin account's HKCU registry hive, not the user(s). 

Is there a way of adding it to all users registry hive? 




I would recommend using Active Setup ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Setup ). 


These two install commands should get you on the right track, but I haven't tested them at all. 


<install cmd='reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\wpkgEnableOutlookEncryption /v "Version" /d "1" /t REG_SZ /f' /> 


<install cmd='reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\wpkgEnableOutlookEncryption /v "StubPath" /d " reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ Policies\Microsoft\Office\11. 0\Outlook\RPC /v EnableRPCEncryption /t REG_SZ /f" /> 




Once the two reg values are set by wpkg, the command in StubPath will be run once for each user that logs into the workstation (thus setting the appropriate value in HKCU). If you ever need to change it back, you can just set "Version" to "2" and change "StubPath" to either delete or update the value as needed. 


If you have problems with it running reg.exe in this manner, you can put that reg command into a bat file, have wpkg copy it to the workstation, and then point StubPath to that location (e.g. "c:\windows\ wpkgEnableOutlookEncryption.bat"). 


Cheers, 


Troy
