Hi:

I'm looking for an example of modifying the registry of a remote system.

Thanks much!

Charles,

Any example in the documentation will do. The only thing you have to do
differently is call the static OpenRemoteBaseKey to get the hive on the
remote system you want to work with, and proceed from there.

I get, "Use the new keyword to create an object instance". And we I do use
new I get
"Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(Mic rosoft.Win32.RegistryHive,
string) is a mathod but is used like a type".

This is what I'm trying to get to work:

RegistryKey Tb2Key =
RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMa chine,
textBox4.Text).OpenSubKey("Software\\Netopia\\Timb uktu Pro\\TimbuktuName");
Tb2Key.SetValue("StringValue", textBox4.Text);

RegistryKey RoKey =
RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMa chine,
textBox4.Text).OpenSubKey("Software\\Microsoft\\Wi ndows
NT\\CurrentVersion\\RegisteredOwner");
RoKey.SetValue("StringValue", textBox3.Text);

RegistryKey CNameKey =
RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMa chine,
textBox4.Text).OpenSubKey("Software\\Microsoft\\Wi ndows
NT\\CurrentVersionRegisteredOrganization");
CNameKey.SetValue("StringValue", "NeuStar Inc");

Tb2Key.Close();
RoKey.Close();
CNameKey.Close();

I made a change and I think I'm close. It's now telling me that I don't have
permissions to the remote system. The remote system is a virtual machine in
my domain and I do have permissions as I am running the program as an admin
of the domain.

RegistryKey CNameKey =
RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMa chine,
textBox4.Text).OpenSubKey("Software").OpenSubKey(" Microsoft").OpenSubKey("Windows NT").OpenSubKey("CurrentVersion");

CNameKey.SetValue("RegisteredOrganization", "Company Inc",
RegistryValueKind.String);

Thanks!
