Anyone know why a login script (in a.d.) that has worked for months and
months would up and not process completely now?
It’s merging a .reg (setting a default printer) entry into the HKCU
portion of the registry, and like I said, it’s worked for a long time,
just recently quit working properly.
If I try to merge the .reg into the registry manually, I get an error
“Cannot access the registry”.
Weird thing is, if I manually change the default printer, then try to
merge that entry, it works just fine.

This seems like a good clue. You would seem to lack rights to the
registry. Your user isn’t powerful, or UAC is “helping” you, or other
ACLs in the registry are stopping you from being productive.

It is afe to assume that this registry-hacking file plays with printing
somehow? If so, I’m guessing in-registry ACLs are causing you the problem.

Good luck.

Only change was combining two working batch files into one.

UAC is off, user logging in is a local admin.

I’m curious why this would cause a problem for a couple VMs in this
pool, but others work just fine.
