Dietmar,

Are you looking for a command line tool or GUI tool?

If latter, the regedit.exe feature I mentioned earlier (Connect Network Registry) is what you really need - you will be able to
connect to a remote computer registry and export any branch there to a file. The same way you can import .reg files.
Keep in mind that RPC transport needs to be working on your image. Also the Remote Registry Service must be started.

As to command line tool.. I don't know a free one. Some commercial tools are availalble though (e.g. Emco RegExporter:
http://www.emco.is/tutorials/remoteregistryexporter/remote_registry_exporter_benefits_document)

Also please keep in mind that the scenerio you asked about can be implemented with PsExec.exe and Reg.exe. All you have to do is to
remotely launch reg.exe commands (REG EXPORT, REG IMPORT, etc.)

The Reg operations can be used with remote machines by adding the UNC name of the server to the end of the command line (see reg add
/? for more help). But IIRC, EXPORT and IMPORT commands can only be executed on local machine.
