I am developing in ASP.Net, I want to write registry from web server to client local machine. Here is my code,

C#

string sDesig = ""; sDesig = Convert.ToString(ViewState["Designation"]); string sRef = ""; sRef = Convert.ToString(ViewState["ReferenceNo"]); System.Text.StringBuilder sw = new StringBuilder(); int transid = Int32.Parse(ViewState["TransID"].ToString()); int status = Convert.ToInt32(ViewState["Status"]); string History = lblsrno.Text; string name = SessionManager.GetEmpName(HttpContext.Current).ToString(); System.Text.StringBuilder sbvar = new System.Text.StringBuilder(); sbvar.Append(sDesig + ","); sbvar.Append(sRef + ","); sbvar.Append(transid + ","); sbvar.Append(name + ","); sbvar.Append(status+","); sbvar.Append(History); Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("MYVARIABLE", sbvar.ToString(), EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine);

but it was saving in server machine. I want to save it to client machine. Anyone have idea?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I dont think you can access the registry of the client machine.

Instead you can go for State Management for storing the data.

Well updating registry from server will not be a easy task. you will face lots of access issues and other problems.

What i prefer to do is ; create VBSCRIPT files which can access remote computers. and execute them from webserver. Now in case you find access denied. Impersoante teh process and execute the script .

one such script is :

VB

On Error Resume Next
HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001
strComputer = "."
Set objReg = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
strKeyPath = "Control Panel\Desktop"
ValueName = "ScreenSaveActive"
    objReg.GetStringValue HKEY_CURRENT_USER, strKeyPath, ValueName, strValue
If IsNull(strValue) Then
    Wscript.Echo "Verify whether or not a screen saver is being used:  The value is either Null or could not be found in the registry."
Else
    Wscript.Echo "Verify whether or not a screen saver is being used: ", strValue
End If

Also you can google it , Scripting remote computers[]
