I'm trying to connect to a computer on the network to read a key in the registry.  I am getting the following error:

Permission denied: 'GetObject'

Code: 800A0046

Here is my code:

const HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001
strComputer = "REGTEST"
Set oReg = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & _
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
strKeyPath = "Console"
strValueName = "HistoryBufferSize"
oReg.GetDWORDValue _
HKEY_CURRENT_USER,strKeyPath,strValueName,dwValue
WScript.Echo "Current History Buffer Size: " & dwValue

I've tried looking at the services, dcom and impersonation levels.

Any other ideas would be appreciated.

One thing i have noticed is that when i connect to the remote machine through regedit, using networked registry, i only have access to HKEY_USERS.  If I attempt to open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, i get an error while opening key. 

The key I am reading can be located anywhere in the registry, (its not going to be the HistoryBufferSize).

How would I change that code to open a key in the root of the HKEY_USERS registry?
