Powershell Microsoft.win32.registrykey Openremotebasekey Credentials

admin
-->

I'm attempting to use powershell to access a remote registry like so: $reg = Microsoft. It seems there is no way to add Credentials using RemoteRegistry. Win32.RegistryHive::LocalMachine $regkey = Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey::OpenRemoteBaseKey($type,$machine) $subkey = $regKey. In part one, we covered some of the primary functions of the Microsoft Win32 API. Now, it is time to share some more knowledge: When you use the RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey, you can choose three options.

Definition

Deletes the specified value from this key, and throws an exception if the value is not found.

Overloads

DeleteValue(String)

Deletes the specified value from this key.

DeleteValue(String, Boolean)

Deletes the specified value from this key, and specifies whether an exception is raised if the value is not found.

Parameters

name
String

The name of the value to delete.

Exceptions

name is not a valid reference to a value.

The user does not have the permissions required to delete the value.

The RegistryKey being manipulated is closed (closed keys cannot be accessed).

The RegistryKey being manipulated is read-only.

Examples

This code example is part of a larger example provided for the RegistryKey class.

Remarks

On Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Millennium Edition, specifying an empty string for the name parameter does not delete the default value.

Deletes the specified value from this key, and specifies whether an exception is raised if the value is not found.

Parameters

throwOnMissingValue
Boolean

Indicates whether an exception should be raised if the specified value cannot be found. If this argument is true and the specified value does not exist, an exception is raised. If this argument is false and the specified value does not exist, no action is taken.

Exceptions

name is not a valid reference to a value and throwOnMissingValue is true.

-or-

name is null.

The user does not have the permissions required to delete the value.

The RegistryKey being manipulated is closed (closed keys cannot be accessed).

We'll even convert your presentations and slide shows into the universal Flash format with all their original multimedia glory, including animation, 2D and 3D transition effects, embedded music or other audio, or even video embedded in slides. Edition All for free. Most of the presentations and slideshows on PowerShow.com are free to view, many are even free to download. But aside from that it's free.

The RegistryKey being manipulated is read-only.

Remarks

If throwOnMissingValue is false, there is no way to tell if the deletion was successful, without subsequently trying to access the value just deleted. Therefore, use caution when deleting values from the registry in this manner.

On Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Millennium Edition, specifying an empty string for the name parameter does not delete the default value.
