Reading external registry values

[Håvard Olerud Eriksen]

Is there any way to use php to connect to a series of external servers and
read some registry values without compromising the security setup of these
servers? OK, this may sound like hacking but it's for internal use in my
organisation and I have full administrator rights to them.

Hi,

I am not sure, but I expect you are talking about M$ machines since you
mentioned registry. Is that correct?
In that case I expect you better use a M$ serverside scriptinglangua ge to do
this job, like VB-script.
I expect you will have to script some authentications tuff also before you
can remotely query the registry.

The problem: M$ typically keeps all the implementations of protocols and
API's they use to themselfs, making it hard for mere mortals to write
usefull stuff on low-level for their OS.

You could try to find out if anybody did anything what you need at:

http://www.phpclasses.org/

But I think the best advise is: Try a M$-newsgroup.

Good luck!

Thanks for the tip. I found a couple of things I might be able to use.
