I am trying to use the PS Remote Registry module to retrieve the value of a registry item on a series of remote PCs  
I have verified that the key exists but the PS cmdlet still returns an error… perhaps I have a syntax error?

PS \> get-regvalue -computername 7mjlcx1 -key \software\wow6432node\nbsi\sysdll\termID

get-regvalue : Key '\software\wow6432node\nbsi\sysdll\termID' doesn’t exist.  
At line:1 char:1

- get-regvalue -computername 7mjlcx1 -key \software\wow6432node\nbsi\sysdll\termID …
- 

```auto

Hi NetAdminTX,

The function should work if you remove the backslash before software and the Remote Registry service is running on the remote computer.

```
get-regvalue -computername 7mjlcx1 -key software\wow6432node\nbsi\sysdll\termID
```

Best,  
Daniel

Removed backslash - still see in the error  
Verified the remote registry service and verified the key exists

PS C:\users\ahollister\desktop\registry\_pull\> get-regvalue -computername 7mjlcx1 -key software\wow6432node\nbsi\sysdll\t

Thanks for the screenshot. “TermID” is not a key but a value of the “SYSDLL” key. Please test if below returns the correct result.

```
Get-RegValue -ComputerName 7mjlcx1 -Key SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\NBSI\SYSDLL -Value TermID
```
