Trying to get reg value

PowerShell Help
1

I have this code and get error

Invoke-Command -ComputerName (Get-Content .\DCs.txt) -scriptBlock { Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\Schannel\ -Name "CertificateMappingMethods" }

Invoke-Command : One or more computer names are not valid.

Not a foreach this time

Chances are you have an empty line or some random space(s.) I always prefer to treat it as CSV as Import-CSV will clean up extra white space. Even if there is no header, just provide one

$dclist = Import-Csv .\DCs.txt -Header name

Invoke-Command -ComputerName $dclist.name -scriptBlock {
    Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\Schannel\ -Name "CertificateMappingMethods"
}

Hey Doug, yes that was it. Too much white space, thank you

If I want to use set-itemproperty then (where the Key doesn’t yet exist), would this work?

$dclist = Import-Csv .\DCs.txt -Header name
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $DCs {
        Set-ItemProperty HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\Schannel\ -Name "CertificateMappingMethods" -Value '31'}

Test it on a test pc. :man_shrugging:t4: That will probably be faster than waiting for answer of someone who tested it for you. :wink:
