Remote Registry

[EB]

Well this is how I do it...

download startreg.exe from admin arsenal

put all files into action folder...

Please see attached compiled 64 bit executable.

I found startreg.exe does not open up the full registry when connecting to a 64 bit machine as it opens regedit up in 32 bit mode. I found AutoIT code provided by Sticky on the lansweeper forum posted from 2009 and converted it to 64 bit which now runs the process as 64 bit.

Please see below Sticky’s code compiled to a 64 bit executable.

if ($CmdLine[0] > 0) Then
$hostname = $CmdLine[1]
Else
MsgBox(48,"Error","No Hostname Specified",60)
Exit(1)
EndIf

; Run Regedit
Run("regedit.exe")


; Wait for the regedit to become active
WinWaitActive("Registry Editor")

; Connect to the remote registry
Send("!f")
Send("c")
WinWaitActive("Select Computer")
Send($hostname)
Send("{ENTER}")

; Finished!

Thank you so much for sharing this. You don't know the amount of stress you have just saved me. Much appreciated.

IF you get prompted it means you don't have the privileges for remote registry on that machine....

new download spot I guess....moved it on us...so I am adding two sites this time...
