Use ZENWORKS. Zenworks comes with Snapspot which can record changes
like this and distribute then to who ever you want. What you need to
do is build a clean machine and take a snapshot of it. Make the change
to the box. Then take another snapshot and it will record the change
in an AXT or AOT file. Then create an application icon in NWADMIN and
import the AOT or AXT file. Then add whoever you want to get the
update to be associated with the application object.
Hope this helps.
