function Get-RegDWord { <# .SYNOPSIS Retrieves a 32-bit binary number (REG_DWORD) registry value from local or remote computers. .DESCRIPTION Use Get-RegDWord to retrieve a 32-bit binary number (REG_DWORD) registry value from local or remote computers. .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 AsHex Returnes the value in HEX notation. .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. .EXAMPLE $Key = "System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp" Get-RegDWord -ComputerName SERVER1 -Hive LocalMachine -Key $Key -Value PortNumber ComputerName Hive Key Value Data Type ------------ ---- --- ----- ---- ---- SERVER1 LocalMachine System\CurrentCon... PortNumber 3389 DWord Description ----------- The command gets the Terminal Server's listening port from SERVER1 server. .EXAMPLE Get-RegDWord -ComputerName SERVER1 -Key $Key -Value PortNumber ComputerName Hive Key Value Data Type ------------ ---- --- ----- ---- ---- SERVER1 LocalMachine System\CurrentCon... PortNumber 3389 DWord Description ----------- The command gets the Terminal Server's listening port from SERVER1 server. You can omit the -Hive parameter (which is optional), if the registry Hive the key resides in is LocalMachine (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE). .EXAMPLE Get-RegDWord -CN SERVER1,SERVER2 -Key $Key -Value PortNumber -AsHex ComputerName Hive Key Value Data Type ------------ ---- --- ----- ---- ---- SERVER1 LocalMachine System\CurrentCon... PortNumber 0xd3d DWord SERVER2 LocalMachine System\CurrentCon... PortNumber 0xd3d DWord Description ----------- This command gets the Terminal Server's listening port from SERVER1 and SERVER2. The command uses the ComputerName parameter alias 'CN' to specify a collection of computer names. When the AsHex Switch Parameter is used, the value's data returnes in HEX notation. .OUTPUTS PSFanatic.Registry.RegistryValue (PSCustomObject) .LINK Set-RegQWord Get-RegValue Remove-RegValue Test-RegValue #> [OutputType('PSFanatic.Registry.RegistryValue')] [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName="__AllParameterSets")] param( [Parameter( Position=0, ValueFromPipeline=$true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName=$true, HelpMessage="An array of computer names.
