A couple of things to note. You don't have to wrap your message in the pre and code tags. Only use that for actual code. We can't help when you don't actually provide any code at all.

Thanks for the comment... Code: Assuming LogonUser and ImpersonateLoggedOnUser are used before this call... HKEY hMachine = NULL; LONG rc = ::RegConnectRegistry("\\\\abc", HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA, &hMachine); if (ERROR_SUCCESS != rc) { if (ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED == rc) { //.... } }

Have you verified that the remote registry service is running on the remote computer? Also, there are other conditions that will call this to fail; specifically, if you have the policy "Force network logons using local accounts to authenticate as Guest" this will fail as well.
