Name of a computer. If no name is sepcified, the command runs agains the local computer. Multiple Names can be specified as comma separated strings. .PARAMETER Path Mandatory. Registry Path to query. .PARAMETER ValueName Optional. Name of a registry value to query. If ommitted, all values under a key will be returned. .PARAMETER RegistryView Optional. Specifies which registry view to target on a 64-bit operating system. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.win32.registryview?view=net-6.0 for details .PARAMETER Recurse Optional. Run query recursively (query sub keys). .EXAMPLE Get all registry subkeys and values recursively under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\common" from Computer "Computer1" Get-ALHRegistryItem -ComputerName Computer1 -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\common" -Recurse -Verbose .EXAMPLE Get all registry subkeys and values recursively under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\common\officeupdate" from Computer "Computer1" (Get-ADComputer -SearchBase "OU=myOU,DC=myDomain,DC=tld" -Filter *).Name | Get-ALHRegistryItem -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\common\officeupdate" -ValueName "enableautomaticupdates" .INPUTS String .OUTPUTS Nothing .NOTES Author: Dieter Koch Email: diko@admins-little-helper.de .LINK https://github.com/admins-little-helper/ALH/blob/main/Help/Get-ALHRegistryItem.txt #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [parameter(ValueFromPipeline)] [String[]] $ComputerName = $env:COMPUTERNAME, [Parameter(Mandatory)] [String] $Path, [String] $ValueName, [ValidateSet('Default', 'Registry32', 'Registry64')] [String] $RegistryView = 'Default', [Switch] $Recurse, [switch] $SkipConnectionTest ) begin { $IsRecursive = (Get-PSCallStack)[1].Command -eq $MyInvocation.MyCommand $Hive = "" if ($Path -match "\\") { $Hive = $Path.Substring(0, $Path.IndexOf("\")) $Path = $Path.Substring($Path.IndexOf("\") + 1) } else { $Hive = $Path $Path = "" } $RegistryHiveList = @{ "HKCR" = @{ "ShortName" = "HKCR:" "HiveName" = "ClassesRoot" } "HKCU" = @{ "ShortName" = "HKCU:" "HiveName" = "CurrentUser" } "HKLM" = @{ "ShortName" = "HKLM:" "HiveName" = "LocalMachine" } "HKU" = @{ "ShortName" = "HKU:" "HiveName" = "Users" } "HKCC" = @{ "ShortName" = "HKCC:" "HiveName" = "CurrentConfig" } } switch ($Hive) { { "HKCR:", "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT", "ClassesRoot" -contains $_ } { $RegistryHive = $RegistryHiveList."HKCR" } { "HKCU:", "HKEY_CURRENT_USER", "CurrentUser" -contains $_ } { $RegistryHive = $RegistryHiveList."HKCU" } { "HKLM:", "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE", "LocalMachine" -contains $_ } { $RegistryHive = $RegistryHiveList."HKLM" } { "HKU:", "HKEY_USERS", "Users" -contains $_ } { $RegistryHive = $RegistryHiveList."HKU" } { "HKCC:", "HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG", "CurrentConfig" -contains $_ } { $RegistryHive = $RegistryHiveList."HKCC" } default { Write-Error -Message "Registry hive not detected!" break; } } } process { foreach ($Computer in $ComputerName) { $IsComputerOnline = $false if ($IsRecursive) { Write-Debug -Message "Recusion detected.
