Create a Registry MultiString type

Question

_{Tuesday, January 8, 2013 2:23 PM}

Hello,
I am attempting to create a new registry itemProperty with a type = REG_MULTI_SZ.  I can't find the correct switch settings to complete this?  I have to beleive this is something simple.

Set-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\RPC\Internet -type multistring -Name "Ports" -Value "10005-12000"

Ideas?

TIA

Paul

What is the problem?

Your command works for me with a different path :)

Ok, Problem is the PowerGUI Script Editor.  I went native and it worked.  :-(

Thx

HI All

hoping someone can help..

New-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\RPC\Internet -Name Ports -Value '5000-5015' -PropertyType MultiString -Force

Let's say i have created the above MultiSting Key with the values from above. Where i'm strugling with for the past 2 days is how do i add another value to the same string without overwritting what was there originally.  Every permutation of PS script i have tried has failed in the sense that it deletes everything that was previously in that string.

Is there a way to just append a new value...?

thanks in advanced!
