Unable to connect to remote registry

I get this error “Unable to connect to ( remote machine name). Make sure that this computer is on the network, has remote administration enabled, and that both computers are running the remote registry service.” when I try to remotely connect to the registry of a Windows 7 machine
Unable to connect to ( remote machine name). Make sure that this computer is on the network, has remote administration enabled, and that both computers are running the remote registry service

The most common cause of this error is that , the Remote Registry service is not running in the target computer.

You can enable the the service by following these steps:

1. Start —> Run—> type “compmgmt.msc” —> Enter
2. Connect to the remote computer :remote computer management  image 3.Start Remote Registry service:

Now remote registry can be accesses.

    Check following things:
    1. Cane you access the hidden shares of that computer? like \\computername\C$
    2. Check the firewall . If it is running on remote computer, it will not allow you to connect remotely.
