.SYNOPSIS Execute a CIM method to enumerate a list of keys from the registry. .DESCRIPTION Uses CIM to enumerate keys under a key. .PARAMETER ComputerName A computer name. A New-CimSessionDown will be created for it. .PARAMETER CimSession A CimSession from New-CimSessionDown. .PARAMETER Hive A hive type. The default is LocalMachine. .PARAMETER Key The name of the key to read. .PARAMETER Value A filter to apply to the last value. .PARAMETER Simple Whether to return the full output or only the data. .PARAMETER OperationTimeoutSec Defaults to 30. If this wasn't specified operations may never timeout. .NOTES #> function Get-CimRegKey { [CmdletBinding()] param( [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, ParameterSetName = "ComputerName")] [string] $ComputerName = $env:COMPUTERNAME, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipeline = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, ParameterSetName = "CimSession")] [Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimSession] $CimSession, [Parameter(ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true)] [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryHive] $Hive = "LocalMachine", [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true)] [string] $Key, [string[]] $Value, [int] $OperationTimeoutSec = 30 # "Robust connection timeout minimum is 180" but that's too long ) begin { } process { $cimKeys = @(if ($PSCmdlet.ParameterSetName -eq "ComputerName") { $ComputerName } else { $CimSession }) | Get-CimRegEnumKey -Hive $Hive -Key $Key -OperationTimeoutSec $OperationTimeoutSec foreach ($cimName in $cimKeys.sNames) { if (!$Value -or $Value -contains $cimName) { [PSCustomObject] @{ ComputerName = $cimKeys.PSComputerName Hive = $Hive Key = "$Key\$cimName" } } } } end { } } |
