function Get-RegQWord { <# .SYNOPSIS Retrieves a 64-bit binary number registry value (REG_QWORD) from local or remote computers. .DESCRIPTION Use Get-RegQWord to retrieve a 64-bit binary number registry value (REG_QWORD) 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 = "SOFTWARE\MyCompany" Get-RegQWord -ComputerName SERVER1 -Hive LocalMachine -Key $Key -Value SystemLastStartTime ComputerName Hive Key Value Data Type ------------ ---- --- ----- ---- ---- SERVER1 LocalMachine SOFTWARE\MyCompany SystemLastStartTime 129057765227436584 QWord Description ----------- The command gets the SystemLastStartTime value from SERVER1 server. .EXAMPLE Get-RegQWord -ComputerName SERVER1 -Key $Key -Value QWordValue ComputerName Hive Key Value Data Type ------------ ---- --- ----- ---- ---- SERVER1 LocalMachine SOFTWARE\MyCompany SystemLastStartTime 129057765227436584 QWord Description ----------- The command gets the SystemLastStartTime value 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-RegQWord -CN SERVER1,SERVER2 -Key $Key -Value QWordValue -AsHex ComputerName Hive Key Value Data Type ------------ ---- --- ----- ---- ---- SERVER1 LocalMachine SOFTWARE\MyCompany SystemLastStartTime 0x1ca815a8be31a28 QWord SERVER2 LocalMachine SOFTWARE\MyCompany SystemLastStartTime 0x1ca815a8be31a28 QWord Description ----------- This command gets the SystemLastStartTime value from SERVER1 and SERVER2. The command uses the ComputerName parameter alias 'CN' to specify a collection of computer names. When the AsHex Switch Parameter is used, the value's data returnes in HEX notation. .OUTPUTS PSFanatic.Registry.RegistryValue (PSCustomObject) .LINK Set-RegQWord Get-RegValue Remove-RegValue Test-RegValue #> [OutputType('PSFanatic.Registry.RegistryValue')] [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName="__AllParameterSets")] param( [Parameter( Position=0, ValueFromPipeline=$true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName=$true, HelpMessage="An array of computer names.
