Get-ItemProperty on Remote Server

Question

_{Thursday, June 20, 2013 6:44 PM}

I need to get the values of a registry key on a remote server. Tried the below without any luck? Is there a simpler method?

$strMachineName = "mail02-ny"
$objReg = [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey]::OpenRemoteBaseKey('LocalMachine', $strMachineName)
$objRegKey= $objReg.OpenSubKey('\HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services\MSExchangeAB\Parameters')
$objRegkey.RPCTCPORT()

I just ran this as a test and it worked fine:

$reg = [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey]::OpenRemoteBaseKey('LocalMachine', $machine)$regKey = $reg.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\ASP.NET")$regKey.GetValue("RootVer")

So for your's you may try this:

$strMachineName = "mail02-ny"$objReg = [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey]::OpenRemoteBaseKey('LocalMachine', $strMachineName)$objRegKey= $objReg.OpenSubKey("SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\services\\MSExchangeAB\\Parameters")$objRegkey.GetValue("RPCTCPORT")

Now when you say you tried without any luck, are you receiving any error messages or anything?

It does not throw any errors anymore, but I am not getting the property of the registry key output?

Thanks.

You are postive the reg key has a value named "RPCTCPORT"? So if you open regedit on the machine in question, and browse to that key, that value does exist?

OK, cool. I know I had a typo in the code which I fixed, so not sure if it was my fault or not

I fixed that typo, but had my own!

Thanks again.

One more question. If I need to query a value where there are spaces, how can I achieve this?

$strMachineName = "$Server"
$objReg = [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey]::OpenRemoteBaseKey('LocalMachine', $strMachineName)
$objRegKey= $objReg.OpenSubKey("SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\MSExchangeIS\ParametersSystem")
$Reg2 = $objRegkey.GetValue**("Reread Logon Quotas Interval")**

I do not think I ever seen a reg value with spaces, so I created one for testing, and it works just as is
