Reading registry values of external hosts?

[Håvard Olerud Eriksen]

Is there any way to do this via a command line interface, or otherwise? Yes,
I know it sounds like a hacking question but I have full Administrator
rights to all the hosts in question It would have saved me a bunch of
work to be able to do this, as I could have used in conjunction with my
local database and a webapp I've been working on.

Cheers,
Håvard

Hi

You can do this with e.g. the command line tool Reg.exe

Reg.exe comes built in with WinXP and Win2k3.

Reg.exe for Win2k is in the Support Tools found on the Win2k CD,
\Support\Tools\Suptools.msi, or for the latest version of
Support Tools (should work on non-SP4 computers as well):

http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/servicepacks/sp4/supporttools.asp

Run "Reg.exe /?" in a command prompt for more help.

Thanks. It does have the functionality that I was looking for except that it
does not allow me to do this to computers over the Internet, only on the
local subnet. Is there any way to use it and specify username / password in
the same go? Something like:
REG QUERY \\"ip address"\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ \user:
Administratorassword?

Takker på forhånd

Hi

I don't think reg.exe is capable of this.

To run the exe remotely, you might be able to use PsExec.exe
in the free PsTools suite as well, found at
http://www.sysinternals.com

PsExec can even automatically copy a file (e.g. exe or bat) over
to the remote computer before it starts it.

Another freeware program with similar merits to PsExec is Beyondexec.

Beyondexec also have multiple computer functionality.
