Is there a way to programmatically turn on remote registry?

[Kevin Holleran]

Tim,

I am looking here:

SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{BF9F6FB0-C999-4D19-BED0-144F77E2A9D6}

Enumerating the keys for a BusType == 5, then grabbing the values of
DriverDesc, DriverDate, & DriverVersion.

So I am doing this:

 try:
            hKey = _winreg.OpenKey (keyPath,
r"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{BF9F6FB0-C999-4D19-BED0-144F77E2A9D6}",
0, _winreg.KEY_READ)
            i=0
            while True:
                try:
                    subkey = _winreg.EnumKey(hKey, i)
                    i += 1
                    if (subkey.QueryValueEx(hKey,"BusType") == "5"):
                        outputline = host + "," +
subkey.QueryValueEx(hKey,"DriverDesc") + "," +
subkey.QueryValueEx(hKey,"DriverDate") + "," +
subkey.QueryValueEx(hKey,"DriverVersion") + "\n"
                        print outputline
                        outputFile.write(outputLine)
                except WindowsError, e:
                    # WindowsError: [Errno 259] No more data is available

                    pass
        except:
            print "Unable to query registry key for NIC adapters"

Thanks.  I am reviewing the WMI Registry piece you sent over right now.  I
am certainly open to anyway I can get the info.  I have some odd behaviors
across some servers during vulnerability scanning & have a suspicion that
some driver discrepancies on the NIC are to blame.
