Accessing a remote registry over the network

Question:
For remote administration, my tool needs to access the registry of all computers on our network. How can I do that in Delphi?
Answer:
The regular registry class provides a method for this: TRegistry.RegistryConnect(). Before calling RegistryConnect, you need to assign property RootKey for its registry object to HKEY_USERS or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

Reg := TRegistry.Create;
with Reg do
begin
RootKey := HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE;
RegistryConnect('\\peters_notebook');
OpenKeyReadOnly('Software\Microsoft');
Free;
end;
end;
