I want to be able to get and set values of Local Policy Editor using vb scripts (or for that matter any other command line thing). The problem is that for my requirement I cannot rely on the machine in question having anything like powershell. I want to be able to run a script/command and get/set the values of things inside Local Group Policy Editor.

eg. I want to be able to set things like running gpedit.msc and set the value for "\\Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Offline Files\Default Cache Size", and I want to do this without manual intervention.

vb script was my obvious choice thinking that this must be possible using it, however I dont know where to start at. However if you have pointers regarding this, or any other way through which I can achieve this usecase please educate me.

Thanks,
Mayuresh

VBScript issues are redirected to other forums because this forum only targets at VB.NET related questions.

By the way, I searched on the web and find the following link that may help for your scenario,
Manage Group Policy with VBScript,

Scripting Group Policy related Tasks

(To get these scripts in the above link, you need install GPMC SDK and find them in %programfiles%\gpmc\scripts directory)


Hope this can get you start!

Have a nice day!
