Hi,
I've a need to use remote username and password credentials to access remote
registry information via VB.net, can this be done?
I've currently a vbs script that periodically accesses wmi and registry
information on remote machines across domains, it uses the
WbemLocator.ConnectServer facility to provide specific username and password
credentials. I'm trying to move this code to a vb.Net service and I'm trying
to avoid the wsh runtime (IWshRuntimeLibrary), which I don't think will run
in a service environment.
I'm fine using ConnectionOptions to set up a management scope with specific
usernames/passwords to access WMI information on the remote machines. But is
there a similar way to use the same username password credentials to access
remote registry information, preferrebly via the standard OpenRemoteBaseKey
method?
many thanks for any help,
Phil
