I want to stop the "UAC message during my logon on any windows 2008 server or windows 7. Please note: I do not want to disable UAC but stop this message. During my logon to any windows 2008 server or any domain computer, a logon script run and part of this script is to modify a registry setting to update office application footer, which is normal for us. As I have windows 2003 DC, how do stop this message appears every time, when I logon to windows 2008 or windows 7. User Account Control Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer? Program name: Registry Editor Verified publisher: Microsoft Windows Program Location: "C:\Windows\Regedit.exe" /S \\Domain Controller\scripts\Files\Footer.reg

Hi, there is no way to stop only that message if UAC is enabled. A workaround could be modify registry in HKLM running script in "localsystem" security context instead of "current user" security context.

Hi Can you please give more detail on this work around? Also, in windows 2003 and xp, Regedit.exe with /S key work silently. Is there any switch which will work same way in windows 7 or windows 2008? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310516/en-au or If I use group policy to import/export this registry key, will I have same UAC message on any windows 2008 or window 7 machines.

Hi Can you please give more detail on this work around? this work around can work only if you have to change registry keys that are in HKLM section and not in HKCU section because you have to run a startup script and not a logon script thus the user is not yet identified at that time. what registry change are written in footer.reg ?Edoardo Benussi - Microsoft MVP Management Infrastructure - Systems Administration https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/Profile/Benussi Windows Server Italian Forum Moderator edo[at]mvps[dot]org

I just don't know how to do or what to do. You can't use my work around because both reg files change "HKCU" registry keys that are unavailable at startup but Footer.reg can be not necessary if you update all your clients with Office 2003 Service Pack 3. I recommend you to try follow Brent suggestion, particularly the first link. Bye.
