There are undocumented extended stored procedures to manipulate the
registry. However, starting with SQL 2000 SP4, they were changed to
permit changes only within the tree of the SQL Server instance, if
memory serves.

In any case, I would say that it does not really make sense. Enterprise
Manager is a client, and SQL Server is a server. A server sends data to
its clients on requests. It does not send requests to the clients.

If you want manipulate the registry on remote machines, Windows offers
more direct ways to do this, and that is far better than sneaking around
through SQL Server.
