function Get-RegValue { <# .SYNOPSIS Sets the default value (REG_SZ) of the registry key on local or remote computers. .DESCRIPTION Use Get-RegValue to set the default value (REG_SZ) of the registry key on 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, Wildcards are permitted. .PARAMETER Type A collection of data types of registry values, from the RegistryValueKind enumeration. Possible values: - Binary - DWord - ExpandString - MultiString - QWord - String When the parameter is not specified all types are returned, Wildcards are permitted. .PARAMETER Recurse Gets the registry values of the specified registry key and its sub keys. .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 Get-RegValue -Key SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1 -Recurse ComputerName Hive Key Value Data Type ------------ ---- --- ----- ---- ---- COMPUTER1 LocalMachine SOFTWARE\Microsof...
