Access a remote registry

Hello. I'm checking the security of a Windows NT server. I have first used Retina to get a general overview of the server, and it has discovered that the Guest user has access to the registry. As I'm not the kind of people who believes anything, and less if it comes froma program which can give a false alarm, I have tried to access the remote registry by myself using regedit, rededt32 and reg.exe from a W2K Pro, but with no luck. I have tried connecting after creating a null session, but it didn't work either. I could connect to other computers where I have Admin level, so it worked. How do I connect with Guest access? Is Retina wrong or I'm doing something wrong? How can I connect to a remote registry? Thanks in adavance.
