Icacls.exe can be used for Registry modification?


Recommended Posts

Hi

 

Please tell me whether Icacls can be used for Registry permission

change in Windows Vista.

I want to restrict users from accessing specific registry hive. In XP,

I was using Subinacl.exe. The switch specified in sbuinacl is not

available with Icacls.

 

Please let me know, whether Icacls can be used for registry

restrictions or any other tool available for doing that in Windows

Vista.

 

Thanks in Advance,

Regards,

Asha

Maybe, you need to read this stuff on how Vista protects itself from users

by using UAC, Virtualization and WRP.

Thank you for your message,

 

In our customer environment, most of the users are administrators for

some purpose.

So we want to particularly restrict this registry hive.

 

Regards,

Asha

Hello,

 

icacls does not work on registry keys.

 

However, regini.exe does and is included with Vista, but it is not as

powerful or easy to use.

Hi

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

To deny a specific registry hive for users is not able to do with

regini.exe.

 

If you have the command please let me know.

 

Thanks in Advance,

Regards,

Asha

I asked you some questions in the other nearly identical post you made,

please check that.

 

But I also need to tell you something here. Your intention of stopping local

administrators from accessing something is misguided. If a user logs on as a

local administrator, then he/she can completely undo whatever restrictions

you put in place.

 

Why do your users need to be local admins? What is the "some purpose"?
