I have some code that can read a key from the local registry.

$shell = new COM('WScript.Shell');
  $data=$shell->regRead('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Symantec\\Symantec Endpoint Protection\\SMC\\ProductVersion');

How can I open another computer’s registry with this assuming that I have full access to that computer?

I’m getting an error using that code:

Uncaught exception ‘com_exception’ with message ‘Failed to create COM object `winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\" & _strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegPro’

How else can I remotely connect to another computer’s registry? Thanks!

This is more of a WScript.Shell question than a PHP one, try here:

It should work the same, but I’ve never used the php COM component myself.

edit: in theory it should be:


$shell = new COM('winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\\\" & _
    strComputer & "\\root\\default:StdRegPro');

Haven’t tried this myself though.
