Hello,
I am sweeping some of our networks to find devices. When I find a
device I try to connect to the registry using _winreg and then query a
specific key that I am interested in. This works great for machines
that are on our domain, but there are left over machines that are
stand alone and the credentials fail. I understand you cannot pass in
credentials with _winreg but is there a way to simulate a logon of
another user (the machine's local admin) to query the registry?
The simplest may well be to use WMI (example from here):
http://timgolden.me.uk/python/wmi/cookbook.html#list-registry-keys
<code - untested>
import wmi
reg = wmi.WMI (
"machine",
user="machine\admin",
password="Secret",
namespace="DEFAULT"
).StdRegProv
result, names = reg.EnumKey (
hDefKey=_winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
sSubKeyName="Software"
)
for name in names:
print name
</code>
I can't try it out at the moment but in principle it should work.
