Running Registry remotely

[Enrique]

Is there a way to view a Windows XP's registry remotely. I actually do not
need to make changes (but it would be nice)

Thanks,
Enrique

Using remote desktop would be one way.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm needing a way to view a remote machine
registry without interupting the remote user.
Is there a command line option like there is for running msinfo32 remotely?

 

[Phil]

There may be another way, but that's the only way I know of, sorry.

.
If both the machines are on a network --> start --> Run -

-> Regedit --> File --> connect network registry. Then
type in the machine name.

It works for me.

Enrique, if you are on a domain, use of a GPO would work great! Otherwise
this might be some help:

Hi,

There are software out there that you can use, they aren`t
free though. One I use is DameWare NT Utilities. I can
access user`s computer without interrupting their work. I
can view or change registry keys, add/delete users in the
user management or change their memberships.

Hi Enrique,

I agree with Peter that the easiest way to open the registry, click File
--> connect network registry->Key in the remote computer name or IP, you
then can connect to the remote machine and modify some registry keys that
currently not be in use.

NOTE: You need to have a remote machine local admin privilege to connect to
the remote registry.

You can take a look at the link as Jeff has pointed out to use third-party
tool.

Further question, let us get in touch!

Although the HKEY_LM and HKEY_USERS of the remote WinXP PC were visible from
the Registry Edit, I got "Error Opening Key" stating "Cannot open
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE: Error while opening key."

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
