    Hi,

    Im trying to figure out if its possible to remove registry keys over the network with administrator rights. It would simplify our daily routine. Now we have to remove user profiles by hand and the registry part isn't working as i thought it would be. At the moment iam tasting this little script at home. I got this far : reg delete \\COMPUTER NAME\hklm\software\microsoft\windowsnt\profilelist\<profile ID> /p

    I get the error that key cannot be found at the end.

    I appreciate any help.

    Thanks

    Hello,

    I'd use PowerShell for this.

    I'd look in the script center, and ask for help in the Windows PowerShell forum.

    Or use this:

    If you decide to go the PowerShell route, make sure you post your current script and your errors when you create a thread there. If you don't, you won't get much help.
