If you are a minor expert on Regedit then PowerShell scripting is a wonderful alternative way of making changes. From a learning point of view, go slowly at first. Tune-In to the PowerShell method for navigating the registry keys, and go slowly through the syntax for enumerating the values.

First up, I'm curious why you're messing around with. NET commands when PowerShell can access the registry directly. Here's an example:. Incidentally, that code snippet is part of a Windows 7 setup script I wrote that sets the image displayed on the Windows 7 logon screen. Too many curly braces. The one just above the "e" in "else" will close the ForEach statement. Also, the CSV output isn't the result of the actions in the script.
Here's what it looks like from a 3-line input file:. You'll need to track the results of the actions in some fashion, potentially creating your own output file in the process.
I'm up to my elbows in aligators today, and to be honest I'm a little fuzzy on that process myself. Perhaps cduff Duffney or Martin will be able to offer a suggestion on tracking the results and properly outputting to CSV.
If you can specify all the properties at once, the first example is much more efficient, as opposed to serially invoking Add-Member. From a practical standpoint, it really depends on the size of the dataset.
Anything less than a couple hundred objects and you probably won't notice the difference. Add-Member is really handy for adding additional properties to existing objects. For example if you derived some information that you wanted to associate with a collection of file objects, you could do that and use it later for processing e.
I tried both and still the same. I think the script does what its supposed to do in terms of registry change but the results are not exported to CSV correctly. EDIT: Please ignore my previous update. I noticed my source file contained errors. I have rectified this now and it works a treat..
Thanks a ton everyone for all your help :. In that regard there's not much difference. The latter won't work in this script since it creates the objects, adds its 2 properties but it does it not put it in the pipeline I'm late to this ballgame, but using Group Policy Preferences would be soooooooo much easier if these are domain-joined computers.
If the registry value accepts commas some keys only take numbers for example yes you can write a comma as that value in there. Only setting them does look easier. I will know for future :. You almost always need to "quote" the arguments that you use. That way powershell knows what is an argument and what is not. To continue this discussion, please ask a new question.
