Moreover, this is one way I check the registry for a remote computer to determine if it is pending a reboot (Win2003):

$RegCon = [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey]::OpenRemoteBaseKey([Microsoft.Win32.RegistryHive]"LocalMachine",$Computer)

$RegSubKeySM = $RegCon.OpenSubKey("SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\")

$RegValuePFRO = $RegSubKeySM.GetValue("PendingFileRenameOperations","NoValue")

$RegCon.Close()

Where $Computer is the target ComputerName

Also, the .Net [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey] is another great way to interact with the registry, that's the great thing about PowerShell, so many unique ways to do things!
