Hi, I'm testing the regedit tool, but while I can shutdown the remote machine (thus proving I am connecting ok) I cant do any regquery (or delete/create) commands. eg if I do... regedit -S 10.0.0.244 -U test1 -W W2K-DOMAIN -c regqueryval '\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\test' I get the reply.... Server: \\10.0.0.244: User: test1 Domain: W2K-DOMAIN Connection: session setup ok Domain=[W2K-DOMAIN] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] OK regvalinfo value_name Exit Status: NT code 00000016 but this doesn't actually tell me the value. How do I get it? I realise I am using TNG commands while not running TNG on the main server, but would that matter? TNG is on my local machine btw. thanks, __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
