Can you connect to the remote machine via WMI? (If the remote registry
service is stopped, WMI might be also). If so, you can access the
registry remotely via WMI:

Ultimately, you need *something* on the remote machine to be running
which will accept incoming requests. If nothing is (because the machine
& network are secured) then you're not going to be able to do what you want.
