re: Use PowerShell to Edit the Registry on Remote Computers

What if I have to add a key for the current user which is not me? I.E Bill is logged into computer A and I need to add an entry into his HKCU hive. When I enter the pssession with my credentials doesn't it add the key to my registry hive on the remote computer?

Thanks,

Stanz

##Method #1:

$reg=[Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey]::OpenRemoteBaseKey('currentuser', $computername)

$key=$reg.CreateSubKey('software\hsg')

$key.SetValue('scriptingfun','yes it is')

$key.Close()

$reg.Close()

##Method #2:

$sb={

new-item hkcu:\software\hsg

new-itemproperty -Path hkcu:\software\hsg -Name test -Value 1

}

Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock $sb -ComputerName $cpmputer -Credential $cred
