Re^2: Perl->WMI? (OT, I know)

Dear bA,

At present, the only things we seem to want to change are the video refresh rate and horizontal & vertical resolutions. Whether others will appear in future, I can't say for certain, but it seems likely.

Thanks!

Dismas

In any scripting language I don't know what the advisable way would be to do what you want. Display settings are in the registry, so you could certainly set those items directly with Win32::Registry. That IMHO is risky though, if you happened to change the settings to something that is an invalid/bad combination of values who knows what might happen to the machines. I would check into perhaps some sort of group policy tool. If a policy/template could be leveraged I think that'd be the safest/best approach.	[reply]
