What is wrong with the syntax in this line?? I am working with registry keys containing several strings ending in -500 pertaining to registry values I need to keep, retain, such as S-1-5-21-980708528-2451121298-916178342-500 and S-1-5-21-980708528-2451121298-916178342-500, which end in -500, and th…

I also tried If ($i -notmatch “-500”) This is the output I get every time, first several lines: S-1-5-21-980708528-2451121298-916178342-500 – this should not be returned S-1-5-21-3536713821-777046094-417734180-3426 S-1-5-21-3536713821-777046094-417734180-5666 S-1-5-21-3536713821-777046094-4177…

Here is the code as suggested to put here: `$RemoteKey = [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey]::OpenRemoteBaseKey([Microsoft.Win32.RegistryHive]::‘LocalMachine’,$targethost)` `$regPath = “SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache\PurgeAtNextLogoff\”` `$regkey = $RemoteKey.OpenSubKey($regPath,$tr…

May I suggest again an approach a little more “Powershelly”? :wink: $Path = ‘REGISTRY::HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache\PurgeAtNextLogoff’ (Get-Item -Path $Path).GetValueNames() | Where-Object {$_ -notmatch ‘-500$|-5666$’} | ForEach-Object{ $_ #Remove-ItemProperty -Path $…
