Powershell Script to Read Registry Value using WMI Class StdRegProv
You can read registry value using WMI Class StdRegProv in Powershell by following script:
$HKLM = [UInt32] "0x80000002" $registry = [WMIClass] ".rootdefault:StdRegProv" $valueName = "DisplayVersion" $registry.GetStringValue($HKLM, "SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstallVLC media player", $valueName)
Read Remote Registry Value in Powershell by OpenRemoteBaseKey
Use the below script to read registry value from remote machine by using Powershell‘s OpenRemoteBaseKey. Replace the value for variable $computer with your own remote computer name.
$computer = "hp-pc"
$w32reg = [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey]::OpenRemoteBaseKey('LocalMachine',$computer )
$keypath = 'SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstallVLC media player'
$productKey = $w32reg.OpenSubKey($keypath)
$productVersion = $productKey.GetValue('DisplayVersion')
write-output $productVersion

Thanks!
Wasted hours on other posts. This was clear, concise and just works. Thank you!
WMI Option not work.
Your WMI option from a remote machine never uses the remote machine name defined.
