Accessing Remote Windows Registry

description

When using SQL Authentication to connect to server. SQL Live Monitor tries to access the registry on the remote server when it doesn't have any credentials to allow the access.
 
Application log is as follows,

Ah yes, thanks for this. I had forgotten to document that the current limitation of remote connections, is that it will currently only work in a domain environment , where the current logged-in user has permissions on the remote server.

This is being addressed, and the next version (hopefully) will give you the ability to specify the Windows credentials to use on the remote server - as well as SQL Auth.

version 1.26 (currently going through test) has this issue addressed. Now remote registery access will use WMI authenticated calls if the user is using SQL Authentication.

Expect to see beta 1.26 some time next week.
