I have created a custom code module that is attempting to read a registry key value using code similar to the following...
Dim regKey As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey
regKey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\OurCompany\Group\ReportServers")
This consistently fails. I note in the event viewer a Failure Audit with the following...
Date: xx/xx/xxxx
Time: xx:xx:xx xx
Type: Failure Aud[it]
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: RSComputerName
Source: Security
Category: Object Access
Event ID: 560
Description:

Client Domain: MyDomain
Client Logon ID: (0x0,0x3E7)
Accesses: MAX_ALLOWED
Privileges: -
Restricted Sid Count: 0
Access Mask: 0x2000000
I've tried granting a bunch of permissions to SYSTEM and Everyone to HKLM subkeys, to no avail. Any thoughts on what I can do to fix the problem?
Thanks in advance.

This is because the VB code in report expressions is not trusted and accessing registry requires special code permissions. The standard way is to move the code that reads registry into a custom assembly, grant that assembly required code permissions (rssrvpolicy.config), assert those permissions inside the assembly and call that assembly from your report.

|||Thanks -- that was the info I needed.
However, having never created a custom assembly before, it took a little work to get the job done. I found a good tutorial at http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Code/2005/June/CustomAssemblyinRS.asp.
