Regedit on any Windows endpoint, without an RDP session
Open hives, search keys, and read values on remote machines straight from the console. Read-only by default, every action audited, and the Remote Registry service stays off.
Answering a registry question should not cost an RDP session
Most registry questions are one-minute reads, yet the classic path is slow and leaves doors open.
RDP just to read one value
Checking a single key means a full desktop session, user interruption, and minutes of overhead per lookup.
Remote Registry left enabled
Teams enable the Remote Registry service for convenience and forget it, leaving a permanent management channel exposed.
Silent misconfiguration
A wrong policy value sits on a machine for weeks because nobody can check it without disturbing the user.
No audit of registry edits
Local regedit changes leave no central record, so a broken machine cannot be traced back to its edit.
Remote regedit built for fleets
The familiarity of regedit with the oversight a managed estate demands.
Browse the live registry remotely
Open hives, keys, and values on any Windows endpoint from the console, exactly like regedit but without an RDP session.
Search keys and values
Jump straight to a path or search key names and value data across the hive instead of clicking through trees.
Safe read-only by default
Inspect configuration without changing it. Edits require an elevated role and are confirmed before they reach the device.
Baseline drift correlation
Registry keys captured in configuration baselines link straight to their live state, so drift findings open at the exact key.
Start and stop on demand
The registry session runs only while you need it. Nothing stays listening on the endpoint after you close it.
No extra tool or license
Part of the same Moftgate agent that already manages the device. No PsExec sessions, no third-party registry tools.
Registry visibility without opening attack surface
Remote registry reads usually demand exposed services. Here they ride the outbound channel of the agent you already own.
- ✓Sessions run over TLS through your own relay; registry data never leaves your infrastructure.
- ✓Read-only by default; write access is a separate permission you grant per role.
- ✓Every open, search, and edit is written to the audit log with technician, device, and key path.
- ✓Sensitive hives can be excluded by policy so keys like SAM never render in the console.
- ✓On-demand sessions mean no permanent registry service is exposed on the endpoint.
From question to key in four steps
Open the device
Pick the Windows endpoint from the fleet list and start a registry session on demand.
Navigate or search
Walk the hive tree or jump directly to a key path like HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies.
Inspect or edit
Read values safely, or apply a confirmed change when your role allows it.
Close and record
The session ends on demand and its actions are already in the audit log.
