[chef] Re: *** PROBABLY SPAM *** Re: Re: Re: Windows registry key change for another user

Hkey_users\default is the way to go if you really don't wish to give kitty a try nor willing to use windows way to achieve that.

GPO may be the way in this case, at worse use a logon script to insert the key inside the user profile and have chef manage this centraly stored script.

But relying on putty is NOT a showstopper to use kitty and its enhanced features, kitty has really no problem to be called putty and working like it as far as I know.

The provider should load the hive for the relevant user if it is not currently loaded. On Jan 4, 2013, at 7:11 PM, "Eric Pardee" <

I tried adding the key to HKEY_ALL_USERS and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE but it doesn't work, which I learned is on the Putty wishlist: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/config-locations.html Does Chef windows_registry resource have the ability to execute the registry key change as a different user? I'm assuming the answer is the powershell cookbook. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks for your time. Eric
