How to use WMIC.EXE for remote registry access

[Guest]

Hi, i try to create a batch file with WMIC.EXE to create/delete registry keys
on remote machines and found no example or any usable documentation about
that (only that it should be possible, but no example or needed command line
parameters).

I'm aware of many VB scripts at scriptcenter / technet, but nothing with
WMIC.EXE. Unfortunatly my boss isn't willing to accept VB, as an alternativ
only a Perl-script.

Does anybody have experience with this kind of usage of WMIC.EXE ?
Thanks, Hans

[[Use Windows Management Instrumentation
You can use WMI to automate administrative tasks (such as editing the
registry) in an enterprise environment. You can use WMI in scripting
languages that have an engine on Windows and that handle Microsoft ActiveX
objects. You can also use the WMI Command-Line utility (Wmic.exe) to modify
the Windows registry.

That's all very nice, but it isn't the answer to my question. I already read
many of these infos and many script samples. But there isn't any other docu
public available, which describes the syntax and the parameters necessary for
the command line usage of WMIC to manipulate the registry in any way.

Thanks, Hans
