Is there any way to use php to connect to a series of external servers and

Hi,
I am not sure, but I expect you are talking about M$ machines since you
mentioned registry. Is that correct?
In that case I expect you better use a M$ serverside scriptinglanguage to do
this job, like VB-script.
I expect you will have to script some authenticationstuff also before you
can remotely query the registry.
The problem: M$ typically keeps all the implementations of protocols and
API's they use to themselfs, making it hard for mere mortals to write
usefull stuff on low-level for their OS.
You could try to find out if anybody did anything what you need at:
http://www.phpclasses.org/
But I think the best advise is: Try a M$-newsgroup.
Good luck!
