I'm not sure why you are uninstalling software so often, nor why you are so anal about cleaning the entire registry.
But hey, it's a one click thing to deploy a registry change to a fleet of 10,000 AD boxes, one that can change the configuration of the 1Password app as well as MS Word, and have it done reliably.
That's why it's better.
- grumpydba 8y agoBecause some leftover keys broke software installs maybe ? Happened to me countless times.
- orf 8y agoHas never happened to me since perhaps the XP days. Why are you uninstalling software so often through AD? Not that it absolves this issue, but it's not common to have huge software churn like this. And hey, isolate the issue and push a registry change to every single machine in the network, instantly and consistently.
