I've got a script that runs just fine under the administrator user. But when a domain user executes the script, we get this error message.
Windows 10 Script Host Errors is associated with the VBS script file and appears in all the versions of the operating system. Another cause is the registry errors which generally occurs when the new programs are installed over the old ones without uninstalling the old programs completely. This script just sets every user's IE homepage. For some users, this script runs perfectly fine. For others, it fails, and they get this error: 'execution of the windows script host failed. (access is denied.)'. If a key doesn’t exist, ignore and check the next key. Exit the Registry Editor. Enable Windows Script Host access using command-line. To do this using command-line, execute these commands from elevated Command Prompt.
This error only happens on a Windows 2008 R2 Server. Which is a member of the domain. It works fine on the Windows 2003 Domain Controller. I did a google search, and found this site http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=609886&page=457
It said, create the following registry key. Which I did, but it didn't help.
Anyone have an idea how to get this to work?

A setting in the '.DEFAULT' user's registry isn't going to affect other users, so that posting's advice is dubious to me, immediately. Spore torrent safe.
Verify that 'Users' have 'Read' access to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindows Script HostSettings'. If they don't, then I suspect this is the cause of the problem that cscript.exe is reporting. I'm not aware of the default permission for that key being changed in Windows Server 2008 R2 being changed, though, so I'd wonder how it got changed (assuming that you find it has).

If the problem continues you may want to run 'Process Monitor' against the user's attempt to execute cscript.exe to try and uncover more details.

I solved this problem on a windows server 2012R2 machine by creating the following key in the registry
Execution Of Windows Script Host Failed Windows 10
And then granting full control permissions to the IIS Apppool{AppPoolUser} user on the 'Windows Script Host' key.
