Give the ASP.NET process access as well as the IUSR account. Either that or
assign a user for the thread before making the call.

I am trying to access a registry key on computer like so: key = RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, computerName).OpenSubKey(Subkey); There are two keys I am trying to read, 1 works, and the other gives me the "Requested registry access is not allowed." i've narrowed it down to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office It doesnt let me access that path, but the permissions are the same.
