Hi,
I wonder whether I can write a WMI script which modify a value of a key in
the registry of a remote computer (in the same domain) ?
Regards
Use REG ADD:
REG ADD KeyName [/v ValueName | /ve] [/t Type] [/s Separator] [/d Data] [/f]
KeyName [\\Machine\]FullKey
Machine Name of remote machine - omitting defaults to the current
machine Only HKLM and HKU are available on remote machines
FullKey ROOTKEY\SubKey
ROOTKEY [ HKLM | HKCU | HKCR | HKU | HKCC ]
SubKey The full name of a registry key under the selected ROOTKEY
/v The value name, under the selected Key, to add
/ve adds an empty value name <no name> for the key
/t RegKey data types
[ REG_SZ | REG_MULTI_SZ | REG_DWORD_BIG_ENDIAN |
REG_DWORD | REG_BINARY | REG_DWORD_LITTLE_ENDIAN |
REG_NONE | REG_EXPAND_SZ ]
If omitted, REG_SZ is assumed
/s Specify one charactor that you use as the separator in your data
string for REG_MULTI_SZ. If omitted, use "\0" as the separator
/d The data to assign to the registry ValueName being added
/f Force overwriting the existing registry entry without prompt
Examples:
REG ADD \\ABC\HKLM\Software\MyCo
Adds a key HKLM\Software\MyCo on remote machine ABC
REG ADD HKLM\Software\MyCo /v Data /t REG_BINARY /d fe340ead
Adds a value (name: Data, type: REG_BINARY, data: fe340ead)
REG ADD HKLM\Software\MyCo /v MRU /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d fax\0mail
Adds a value (name: MRU, type: REG_MUTLI_SZ, data: fax\0mail\0\0)
REG ADD HKLM\Software\MyCo /v Path /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d %%systemroot%%
Adds a value (name: Path, type: REG_EXPAND_SZ, data: %systemroot%)
Notice: Use the double percentage ( %% ) inside the expand string
