Accessing Remote Registries

hi everyone,
I need to do a query into some remote registry, workstation PCs as well
as domain PCs.
Previously, i was using the native WMI COM objects like this:

objLocator = CreateObject("W bemScripting.SW bemLocator")
objService = objLocator.Conn ectServer(Compu terName, "root\defau lt", _
strUserName, _
strPassword)
objService.Secu rity_.Impersona tionLevel = 3
objWMI = objService.Get( "stdregprov ")
The reason i had to move to code over to .NET is the issue's i'm having
executing that code in a multi-threaded environment. I'm doing a
recursive call over and over again to seek for a particular key in the
registry.
What is the equivalent to getting a WMI object which can read registry
using System.Manageme nt namespace? i think i can do the impersonation
using the ConnectionOptio ns class together with ManagementScope , but i
dont know whats the next step.

I cannot use "RegistryKey.Op enRemoteBaseKey " simply because i need to
obtain these information from workstation PC's (domain is not a problem
with impersonation).

been cracking my head with this problem for the past few days, any
suggestions?

Hi, I am making a prototype system with Remoting in the bottom of the system. An XML Web Service is using the remote object on an IIS to present data. I am using a TcpChannel for communicating between the XML Web Service and the host for the remote object. Within the host a port is defined and the channel registered. It starts listening for requests. The destination port is therefore clearly defined.

From a .NET 1.1 app: need to access a file share on a remote server by its UNC path, i.e., \\server\folder\subfolder\, using specific username and password. The problem is that the credentials are local to the remote server. Therefore, impersonating that user when accessing the share is not possible. One solution is to map a network drive using the credentials, but it seems kind of ugly and old school.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
