Windows 7 - How To Allow A Standard User To Calibrate Their Tablet Device

In windows 7 standard users are unable to calibrate their tablets because of UAC (quite an oversight on Microsoft's part if you ask me!)
I have been looking on the net for answers to this and there is nothing at all of any use so I decided to tackle the problem. So here we have the first working solution for this available on the net, and its so simple!

Basically any calibration that you perform under windows 7 whether that be pen input, touch input, etc will store its data/values under the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TabletPC\UserLinearityData

So all you need to do is calibrate a machine the way you want it and export this key, then you can import them during your task sequence (you are using SCCM by now arent you? :P)

Once you have imported the key & its values any standard user that now logs onto that machine will be able to calibrate their tablet without a UAC prompt!

Sadly though this appears to be model specific as the values stored under this key in my case are something like "wacf00e" which I know is the wacom tablet pen.

So, there is the answer and now for the challenge..... can anyone make this hardware independant? Im thinking of writing a script that detects what input device is present and then injects the value into this reg key during imaging............

The easiest way to discover your sms provider (SCCM)

The easiest way I have found is to run Microsoft Configuration Manager\bin\i386\setup.exe, select "Perform site maintenance or reset this site", then select "Modify SMS Provider Configuration" and voila! it should display your current SMS_Provider location
