<div dir="ltr">Thanks, I will look into that. WMI is enabled, but everything WMI query I wrote (& I am NOT a WMI expert.... or even close) gave me a bunch of NIC info, but not the info I am after in the registry (driver description, driver date, driver version for the NICs).<div>

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

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