There's a couple of errors in it. Also you can move configuration to an
external file and
CALL "%~dp0\conffile.bat"
it.

Though, I suggest .cmd extension for batch files.

I'm actually surprized, that
>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system"
works, normally, you'd want to place redirects after the command.

if "%ERRORLEVEL%" EQU "0" goto :endif_check_admin

should be EQL, not EQU. Keep in mind that this comparison WILL fail, if
extended mode is disabled.
Fail-proof syntax:
IF NOT ERRORLEVEL <number>

References to _TEMPFILE MUST be quoted. You're referring to a filename,
which may contain spaces.

You SHOULD NOT run rebaseall manually, unless you really need to do so.
