Is there a way to programmatically turn on remote registry?

The machine I am testing from is Windows7, the machine I will run this from
is running an exe generated from py2exe and is running Windows 2008 server.

The machines I am targeting are all Windows 2003 Server machines, though I
am hoping to also expand and use this script on a number of Windows XP
devices (which shouldn't be a problem...)

Here is the output as you requested.  Again thanks for your time & help.  I
hate monopolizing one person's time so much....
