[Kc] Accessing Windows Registry remotely with Perl

[Garrett Goebel]

Did you read the documentation for  
Win32API::Registry::RegConnectRegistry?

If the current account you're logged in as doesn't have pass thru  
authentication to the remote computer, you'll need to look into  
NetUseAdd from Jens Helbergs' Win32::lanman or find an equivalent  
module which will allow you to connect to remote computer's IPC$  
share with appropriate credentials first.

if(!Win32::Lanman::NetUseAdd({
     remote => "\\\\testserver\\ipc\$",
     password => "testpass",
     username => "testuser",
     domain => "testdomain",
     asg_type => &USE_IPC}
)) {
     print "Sorry, something went wrong; error: ";
     # get the error code
     print Win32::Lanman::GetLastError();
     exit 1;
}

cheers,

Garrett
