Reading Remote Registry -- Correct Syntax?

[laphlaw]

I'm having problems reading a registry key on a remote computer. I've read the help file and searched the forums, but I'm unsure if my syntax is right.

$var = RegRead("\\10.80.2.166\HKLM\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\AutoIt\", "Version")

That returns a blank string, and an error code of 1. So for some reason it can't open the key. But first of all... is it okay to use the IP instead of the host name? Unfortunately i can't use the host name, so I have to use the IP.

The default admin share is enabled on the remote computer... what else would I have to do?

Thanks!

You should be able to use the IP address, but the default admin share has nothing to do with remote registry access. Try reading KB314837.

Hope that helps.
