Today I needed to run a program that does a scan on a remote machine and it came back with an error. It turns out that it needs to access the registry on the remote machine and the Remote Registry Service was not running.

Well, there is an easy way to fix that! Make the following changes to an existing or new Group Policy and your all set.

Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain Controller

  • Open the Group Policy editor
  • Expand Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings > System Services
  • Find the Remote Registry item and change the Service startup mode to Automatic
  • Reboot the clients or force a policy update remotely to apply the policy.
