Take ownership of Windows registry key

N

I use Perl to check the values of registry entries on Win2k pro boxes.
I am finding a good percentage of workstations that have an issue with
a specific key. The problem is that when I check the permissions of the
key, in regedit, there is no owner or permissions. I have no idea how
this happened, but about 10% of our machines that were recently
migrated to an AD have this condition. I can manually connect to the
workstation and take ownership with the registry editor, but there are
several hundred machines that need the owner fix. Luckily there is only
one registry key that is so far affected.

Does anyone know if it is possible to programmatically take ownership
of a registry key on a remote machine. I can push permissions through
group policy, but there needs to be an owner first.

Thanks
