Hello,

AFAIK, its not possible to connect to the registry on
remote machine using Native API. The WIN32 API call
RegConnectRegistry call does not make any native API
calls on the local machine.

AFAIK this is impossible. The remote registry is provided by the code
advapi32.dll which is the RPC client. Winlogon.exe on the target machine
contains code for RPC registry server.
Native API is much lower than RPC.
