.NAME
xRegistry .DESCRIPTION Provides a mechanism to manage registry keys and values on a target node. .PARAMETER Key Key - String The path of the registry key to add, modify, or remove. This path must include the registry hive/drive. .PARAMETER ValueName Key - String The name of the registry value. To add or remove a registry key, specify this property as an empty string without specifying ValueType or ValueData. To modify or remove the default value of a registry key, specify this property as an empty string while also specifying ValueType or ValueData. .PARAMETER ValueData Write - StringArray The data the specified registry key value should have as a string or an array of strings (MultiString only). .PARAMETER ValueType Write - String Allowed values: String, Binary, DWord, QWord, MultiString, ExpandString The type the specified registry key value should have. .PARAMETER Ensure Write - String Allowed values: Present, Absent Specifies whether or not the registry key or value should exist. To add or modify a registry key or value, set this property to Present. To remove a registry key or value, set the property to Absent. .PARAMETER Hex Write - Boolean Specifies whether or not the specified DWord or QWord registry key data is provided in a hexadecimal format. Not valid for types other than DWord and QWord. The default value is $false. .PARAMETER Force Write - Boolean Specifies whether or not to overwrite the specified registry key value if it already has a value or whether or not to delete a registry key that has subkeys. The default value is $false. .EXAMPLE 1 #Requires -Module xPSDesiredStateConfiguration <# .DESCRIPTION Configuration that creates a new registry key called MyNewKey as a sub-key under the key 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment'. .PARAMETER Path The path to the key in the registry that should be created. .EXAMPLE xRegistry_AddKey_Config -Path 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment\MyNewKey' Compiles a configuration that creates a new registry key called MyNewKey under the parent key 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment'. #> Configuration xRegistry_AddKey_Config { [CmdletBinding()] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [System.String] $Path ) Import-DscResource -ModuleName xPSDesiredStateConfiguration Node localhost { xRegistry AddKey { Key = $Path Ensure = 'Present' ValueName = '' } } } .EXAMPLE 2 #Requires -Module xPSDesiredStateConfiguration <# .DESCRIPTION Configuration that creates a new registry key with a value. .PARAMETER Path The path to the key in the registry that should be created or modified. .PARAMETER ValueName The name of the registry value to set. To modify or remove the default value of a registry key, specify this property as an empty string while also specifying ValueType or ValueData. .PARAMETER ValueData The data to set as the registry key value. .PARAMETER ValueType The type of the value to set. Defaults to 'String'. { String | Binary | DWord | QWord | MultiString | ExpandString } .PARAMETER Hex Specifies whether or not the value data should be expressed in hexadecimal format. If specified, DWORD/QWORD value data is presented in hexadecimal format. Not valid for other value types. The default value is $false. .PARAMETER OverwriteExisting Specifies whether or not to overwrite the with the new value if the registry key is already present. The default value is $false. .EXAMPLE xRegistry_AddOrModifyValue_Config -Path 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment' -ValueName 'MyValue' -ValueType 'Binary' -ValueData @('0x00') -OverwriteExisting $true Compiles a configuration that creates a new registry value called MyValue under the parent key 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment'. If the registry key value MyValue under the key 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment' does not exist, then the key value is created with the Binary value 0, and will then make sure that the value always exist and have the correct value (make sure it is in desired state). .EXAMPLE $configurationParameters = @{ Path = 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment' ValueName = 'MyValue' ValueType = 'Binary' ValueData = @('0x00') OverwriteExisting = $true } Start-AzureRmAutomationDscCompilationJob -ResourceGroupName '<resource-group>' -AutomationAccountName '<automation-account>' -ConfigurationName 'xRegistryResource_AddOrModifyValueConfig' -Parameters $configurationParameters Compiles a configuration in Azure Automation that that creates a new registry value called MyValue under the parent key 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment'.
