Remotely Accessing Registry

[Newbie311]

Hi there,im not sure if this is the right forum for this but you might be able to help.I need a tool that will allow me to remotely access the registry of networked PC's and access various data,i.e. Apps Installed,Hotfixes etc.Is there any tool you can suggest or lead me in the right direction?

Thank You

Hello

Remote registry editing is available on the standard installation and enabled by default, although it can and frequently is disabled for security reasons.

To use the remote registry editor:
1. run registry editor on your PC
2. Go to Registry -> Connect network registry
3. Select the computer whose registry you want to edit.
4. Edit away.

Something like the network version of Aida32 from

http://www.aida32.hu

will let you have a centralised database of installed applications, system specifications etc.
