#Region './Private/Get-OpenBaseKey.ps1' -1 <# .SYNOPSIS Opens a registry hive on the local computer. .DESCRIPTION This function opens a registry hive on the local computer using the Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey::OpenBaseKey method. It allows you to specify the registry hive and view (32-bit or 64-bit). By default, it uses the local machine view. .PARAMETER RegistryHive Specifies the registry hive to open (e.g., HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, HKEY_CURRENT_USER). .PARAMETER RegistryView Specifies the registry view to open (32-bit or 64-bit). Defaults to the system's default view (64-bit on a 64-bit OS, 32-bit on a 32-bit OS). .OUTPUTS Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey The registry key object representing the opened registry hive. .EXAMPLE Get-OpenBaseKey -RegistryHive 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' Opens the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive on the local computer using the default registry view. .EXAMPLE Get-OpenBaseKey -RegistryHive 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' -RegistryView 'RegistryView32' Opens the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive on the local computer using the 32-bit view of the registry. .NOTES This function is a wrapper around the Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey::OpenBaseKey method, providing an easier interface for opening registry hives locally. #> function Get-OpenBaseKey { param ( [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryHive]$RegistryHive, [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryView]$RegistryView = [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryView]::Default ) return [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey]::OpenBaseKey($RegistryHive, $RegistryView) } #EndRegion './Private/Get-OpenBaseKey.ps1' 39 #Region './Private/Get-OpenRemoteBaseKey.ps1' -1 <# .SYNOPSIS Opens a registry hive on a remote computer. .DESCRIPTION This function opens a registry hive on a remote computer using the Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey::OpenRemoteBaseKey method. It allows you to specify the registry hive and the remote computer name. The remote computer must have the remote registry service running. .PARAMETER RegistryHive Specifies the registry hive to open (e.g., HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, HKEY_CURRENT_USER). .PARAMETER ComputerName Specifies the name of the remote computer on which the registry hive will be opened. .OUTPUTS Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey The registry key object representing the opened registry hive on the remote computer. .EXAMPLE Get-OpenRemoteBaseKey -RegistryHive 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' -ComputerName 'RemotePC' Opens the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive on the remote computer 'RemotePC'. .NOTES This function is a wrapper around the Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey::OpenRemoteBaseKey method, providing an easier interface for opening registry hives on remote computers.
