Problem connecting to remote registry on Windows Server 2003

remotewindows-registry

Im having problems reaching remote registry on my Windows Server 2003, or at least that is what my backup/replication software supplier says.

Any Idea on where I can start to troubleshoot?
What rights might be incorrect, and where? Any port in the firewall of the server which need to be opened? Any tool I can use to check it? The remote registry service is running btw..

The server is located in a DMZ, and runs with an external ip..
Maybe the guys who set up the server hardened it just a bit too much 🙂

Help apprechiated!

You need RPC to be running and the associated ports allowed through the firewall: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/154596

I would also check the firewall logs to see if anything else is being blocked.

I get that error unless I put a specific registry key in the read command

p_shell.RegRead("HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-19\Console\HistoryBufferSize")

Are you seeing event ID 673 in the security log? I suspect your workstation or your account is somehow not authenticating properly to the domain. I'd try the same query from the 2k8 system to the 2003 system and see if it fails. If it does try it with another account and see if that still fails. The kerberos error is referring to an anonymous login that was denied.
