Accessing Remote Registry

Hi, can I access the registry of a remote machine using VB.NET? While
connecting to the remote machine I would be using the admin login of that
machine.

Thanks.

You can use RegistryKey.Ope nRemoteBaseKey and pass the registry hive you want
to open and the machine name you are trying to access. i.e:

RegistryKey.Ope nRemoteBaseKey( Microsoft.Win32 .RegistryHive.L ocalMachine,
myServer)

Hi, I am trying to write a small windows application that you enter a domain\username and a key and hit enter. When you do this, the program will retrieve the password (which was encrypted, but through the program it spits it out to the user unencrypted). This encrypted password is stored in the registry. When I created it, I was an admin on the server where the registry was/is stored. But what I found out later, is that when regular...

Then it fails due to lack of security permissions. It writes to the Host PC registry just fine. This is only happening when remote...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
