function Test-RegValue { <# .SYNOPSIS Determines if a registry value exists. .DESCRIPTION Use Test-RegValue to determine if the registry value exists. .PARAMETER ComputerName An array of computer names. The default is the local computer. .PARAMETER Hive The HKEY to open, from the RegistryHive enumeration. The default is 'LocalMachine'. Possible values: - ClassesRoot - CurrentUser - LocalMachine - Users - PerformanceData - CurrentConfig - DynData .PARAMETER Key The path of the registry key to open. .PARAMETER Value The name of the registry value. .PARAMETER Ping Use ping to test if the machine is available before connecting to it. If the machine is not responding to the test a warning message is output. .PARAMETER PassThru Passes the registry value, if found. .EXAMPLE $Key = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\PowerShellEngine" Test-RegValue -ComputerName SERVER1 -Key $Key -Value PowerShellVersion True Description ----------- The command checks if the PowerShellVersion value exists on SERVER1. If the Value was found the result is True, else False. .EXAMPLE Get-Content servers.txt | Test-RegValue -Key $Key -PassThru ComputerName Hive Key Value Data Type ------------ ---- --- ----- ---- ---- SERVER1 LocalMachine SOFTWARE\Microsof... PowerShellVersion 1.0 String SERVER2 LocalMachine SOFTWARE\Microsof... PowerShellVersion 1.0 String SERVER3 LocalMachine SOFTWARE\Microsof... PowerShellVersion 1.0 String Description ----------- The command uses the Get-Content cmdlet to get the server names from a text file. The names are piped into Test-RegValue. If the Value was found and PassThru is specidied, the result is the registry value custom object. .OUTPUTS System.Boolean PSFanatic.Registry.RegistryValue (PSCustomObject) .NOTES Author: Shay Levy Blog : http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/ScriptFanatic/ .LINK http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/PSRemoteRegistry .LINK Get-RegValue Remove-RegValue #> [OutputType('System.Boolean','PSFanatic.Registry.RegistryValue')] [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName="__AllParameterSets")] param( [Parameter( Position=0, ValueFromPipeline=$true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName=$true, HelpMessage="An array of computer names.
