This is how I enable the Remote Registry on local system or remote system from the command line in Windows 7 and/or Windows XP.
sc start RemoteRegistry
To enable it to start automatically (default manual startup)
sc config RemoteRegistry start= auto
Note: There is a space required between start= and auto.
To do this on a remote system, use the following syntax:
sc TestComputer start RemoteRegistry
sc TestComputer config RemoteRegistry start= auto
You can configure the service start-up type from the command line and here are the options:
| auto | a service automatically started at boot time, even if no user logs on |
| boot | a device driver loaded by the boot loader |
| demand | a service that must be manually started (the default) |
| disabled | a service that can’t be started |
| system | a service started during kernel initialization |
Excellent information, I used it and it worked as it was supposed to.
Thank you
Great post! This came in handy working from home and trying to enable remote registry on my computer in the office. Please note you have to put a in front of the server name.
Hi John,
Glad it worked and thanks for spotting the issue with the command syntax. WordPress hacks my slashes quite often! I have put them back into the post so it should be correct now. Thanks again!
