Remote Machine DNS list 1

[tltechie]

I have been working on this script for awhile and i cannot get it to work remotely with a variable from a larger script. RemoteMachine is the variable being worked with. I basically need the searchlist for the dns to be used with the variable,






function readFromRegistry (strRegistryKey, strDefault )

Dim WSHShell, value

On Error Resume Next

Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

value = WSHShell.RegRead( strRegistryKey )


if err.number <> 0 then

readFromRegistry= strDefault

else

readFromRegistry=value

end if


set WSHShell = nothing
end function

str = readfromRegistry("\\" & remotemachine & "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\SearchList")
wscript.echo "returned " & str

To read the registry of a remote machine you have to use WMI.

Hope This Helps, PH.
