    Check the event log of the receiving machine.

    If you see "Event 36; ...the configured identity is incorrect...", you may have a conflict in the passwords which are supposed to be shared by IIS, DCOM and MTS, but got out of sync.

    More info on this in MS KB article 297989.

      is there any other way to connect to a remote registry?
        Yes - according to the docs, you could prepend your key with "//$machine/", and do a regular registry open (instead of connect).

        I also strongly recommend following Browseruk's suggestion, and displaying $^E when you call "die".
