I need to be able to push out registry fixes with AD logon script to Windows 7 systems with UAC enabled. So far I have had no luck accomplishing this using the standard method that worked in XP.

regedit.exe /s

Is there a way to accomplish this without turning UAC off?

Thanks for your kind answers.

A logon script will run in the current user's context, which will trip UAC. You should use Group Policy Preferences Registry Settings or a Startup Script, which will run as SYSTEM instead.

The GPP way is "preferred" in most cases.
