Hi guys, I'm not sure of the best way forward and could use a little help 
Situation:
We have answering machine software on a LAN machine, which picks up the phone after 17:00
All users on the LAN need to be able to change this setting if the office closes early (bad weather etc). I don't want them to have to rdp to the machine and launch the software to change it as it's too complicated for some members of staff. So this means GP and logon script are out the window.
So I've found the reg key which changes the setting:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NCH Swift Sound\IVM\autohours]
"weekdayclose"="17:00:00"
This can be changed locally or through connecting to the machine via remote registry.
Now obviously I need the users to be able to do this from anywhere. So I thought the best solution is a batch file/s on a shared folder.
Question:
How can I set up a batch file to change the regisrty on a remote machine? Is it even possible?
