Simply under either computer or user logon scripts, create a batch file that calls upon a Registry file and it will automatically import the key into the computer. I prefer the computer logon script as most keys will not apply until the machine is rebooted as it is. Example say you want to allow all machines in an organization unit to have the messenger service disabled. The batch file would look like the following.
regedit /s \\computer\share\registryfile.reg
The registry File will look like the following
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Messenger]
"Start"=dword:00000004
This will import the registryfile.reg file without a prompt coming up asking yes or no to import the registry file. Hope this helps
regedit /s \\computer\share\registryfile.reg
The registry File will look like the following
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Messenger]
"Start"=dword:00000004
This will import the registryfile.reg file without a prompt coming up asking yes or no to import the registry file. Hope this helps

In that example, you could also add the following to stop the Messenger service:
net stop messenger
