Access to the registry of another computer

[destroyhead]

Hi everybody,
Does anybody have an example to read a registry key of a distant server from an ASP.NET page?
I do not find any on the web... (?)
Thanks very much for any help.
Regards.

Have a look in the Microsoft.Win32 namespace. I'm not sure if it will be as easy as you think though...

Hi ca8msm,
Thanks very much for your answer.
I have already worked with Microsoft.Win32 on my computer. But I have not found anywhere (MSDN, forums...) an example to access to the registry of another computer.
I am sure it may be complicated but it was possible with the old VB (or in Java).
Does anybody have an example working with ASP.NET?
Thanks again.
Regards.
Olivier

The RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey method should do what you want...

Hi ca9msm,
Thanks very much for your answer.
This was exactly what I needed.
I am now trying the example available in MSDN (with obviously security issues ).
Thanks again.
