Remote Registry can be set to Automatic, Manual, or Disabled. "Kelly, Jim" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/11/2008 06:33 AM To <[email protected]> cc Subject Remote Registry Service Thanks to all who answered my mhtml question of yesterday. I solved the problem by getting the xml files for the scans, importing them into Nessus for Windows and viewing them there. One problem I keep stubbing my toe on is Remote Registry. As all of you are already aware, Nessus needs remote access to the target registry to determine if various Hotfixes and patches have been applied. Now many secured environments have decided to turn off the Remote Registry service. The new OMB mandated FDCC ?approved? desktop image for Federal desktops has Remote Registry turned off by default. My question is how can Remote Registry be temporarily turned on for scanning purposes? Can an AD GP be used for this purpose? I?ve searched the Microsoft site and found http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314837 The solutions mentioned therein don?t appear to be practical for my purposes. Any help would be appreciated. --------------------------------------------------------- James Kelly Senior Information Assurance Engineer SRA International, Inc.
