Change Value in Remote Registry

[scorpion53061]

Trying to change a value named in a remote registry. In this case we want to
set the password protect function of the screensaver so WMI can do a reboot
of the system. (IsSecure or IsScreenSaverSecure = 1
(something like that)) If you have any thoughts or ideas on this please let
me know.

I can login as Administrator but with this setting protected but it is not
allowing a reboot to occur if the screensaver is on and password protected.
I figure if I can change this value after logging in I should be able to
acomplish the reboot.

Thanks,
Kelly

Hi,

You can use registrykey.openremotebase to open the registry on
another computer.

Make sure the remoteregistry service is running.
