Hi Vadims,

You helped me with a wake on lan issue. I forgot with forum I was posting
this question to. I think it should be the group policy...

Sorry.

I don't know VBS language, however I know why your script fails:
All scripts that change files in system directory or HKLM registry hive must
be placed in Computer Configuration. In this case script will be launched
under LocalSystem account. If you place script in User Configuration
section - script will unable to change HKLM hive or system folders due
insufficient rights. Or you must explicity assign Write rights to users.

And remember this error code: 80070005 - this means Access Denied.
