remote registry and taskmanager

[grnfvr]

does anybody know how to view/edit a remote machines registry. also can you view a remote machine's taskmanager. i know i could use pcanywhere or vnc or something like that. but i want to be able to do it without interfering with the desktop...

'regedt32' will give you limited access to a remote machines registry - HKEY_CURRENT_USER, HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT will be inaccessable though.

To access the remote machines registry, click on the "Registry" menu, then "Select Computer".

Note you need Administrative access on the remote machine.


I know of no way to remotely see a task manager I'm sorry. MCSE NT4/W2K

Could download pstools from

http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pstools.shtml

- one of them - pslist - lets you list running tasks on a remote machine (also look at other tools, most if not all will run on a remote machine).

Right click My Computer and select Manage.Right click Computer Management(Local) and select Connect to another Computer. From there drill down to System Information--Software Enviroment--Running Tasks. This is the the Task Manager on the remote machine(assuming its not running 9x).
