Exchange Server 2010 Readiness Check: Exchange Server 2003 registry cannot be accessed.

When I run ExPDA tool on the Windows 2008 R2 server it fails to connect to the existing Exchange Server 2003. The scan report says that "Exchange Server Registry cannot be accessed."

Start the "remote registry" service on your exchange 2003 server.

Already tried that.
What is your patch level on the 2003 server?  Also, have you enabled file and printer sharing on the 2003 server?
It is Windows 2003 Enterprise with SP2.
And Exchange version?  Here is a great resource for the path you are undertaking.

Are you seeing any other ExBPA errors?  Check that AV on the 2003 box isn't blocking the registry access.
