I am writing scripts to connect to thousands of machines in our domain and have done for some time. I'm constantly plagued by an issue with connections to remote machines. I find that i can connect to 80% of the remote registry's fine but the remaining 10-20ish % give me greif. When i try to connect using the following code obviously passing in a valid workstation ID...
Set oRegistry = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv") 'attempt connect to network registry
...I sometimes get the following:
--------------------------- Windows Script Host --------------------------- -2147217406 --------------------------- OK ---------------------------
Obviously i've error handled this, but it makes no sense to me because:
The worksation's concerned are on the network
I can open regedit.exe and remotely connect to the registry
I've googled this error thoroughly and found plenty of ways to handle the error but no ways to correct it or what the actual issue is. I've even tried manually remotely killing and restarting the "Remote Registry" service.
Another thing to try is run HTAedit on the machine in question. I have seen the StdRegProv move to root\DEFAULT\ms_409. I have not tracked it down to an installation or patch yet, but it's worth the two minutes to check.
