Problems using RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey()

[b_girl]

Hey, I keep getting the UnauthorisedAccessException from the following code - the user account I'm using to connect to the server in question does have permission to read/edit the registry. I have also modified the my routing table so I can access the server resources by name. If anyone could help me out I'd greatly appreciate it. using System; using System.Security; using System.Security.Permissions; using Microsoft.Win32; [assembly: RegistryPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.RequestMinimum, Read = @"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\VirusScan Engine\4.0.xx")] [assembly: SecurityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.RequestMinimum, UnmanagedCode = true)] String KEY = "SOFTWARE\\Network Associates\\TVD\\Shared Components\\VirusScan Engine\\4.0.xx"; try { RegistryHive hKey = RegistryHive.LocalMachine; RegistryKey DATKey = RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(hKey, _ServerName).OpenSubKey(KEY); } ... It seems to get past the RegistryHive.LocalMachine part, but throws the exception when it gets to the open remote base key call. I tried separating the OpenRemoteBaseKey() and OpenSubKey() calls into 2 separate lines, to see if it was maybe OpenSubKey() that was throwing it, but the same exception was thrown on the OpenRemoteBaseKey() call. Thanks.

It means you have to be authenticated and have permissions on the server.

I am authenticating with the server and the account I'm authenticating with has permission to read/edit the registry. I'm doing the authentication when I connect - I'm using the Ras API to establish a VPN connection to the server. Do I have to authenticate again after the connection is established?
