Connect Network Registry |

| message from =?Utf-8?B?Um9iZXJ0?= on 3 Jun 2004 |
I'm having trouble accessing the registries of my Windows XP Pro machines using regedit's Connect Network Registry. I can connect to the machines, but receive a "Cannot open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE: Error while opening key" when trying to open the key.
1. I'm running the program on the remote computer as a domain admin.
2. Remote Registry Service is started and is set to Automatic.
3. I can connect to remote registries on all of my Windows 2000 workstations.
4. Network consists of only 1 domain. No policies have been set to prevent this.
Please help!

Hi,
is that with all your machines that are running with windows xp?

Yes, it happens on all other XP machines. Our domain consists of >90% Windows 2000 Pro Workstations with the remainder XP Pro.

Hi Robert,
I know this sounds stupid and you've probably covered it but, unless the user is a member of the Administrator's local group or the Domain Admin's group, you cannot edit a remote Registry.
I'm also presuming that you've added all the XP machines to your Domain.
Can you log onto their admin share's \\computer_name\c$?
Thanks
Lavan

Yes. All of the workstations of the domain have the Domain Admins group as part of the local Admins' group setup as a policy. I can also connect to the admin$ and c$ administrative shares.
Thanks.
