Getting the registry through Powershell..

  • Article

Just one more quick line to plug into DCM..  (plus a few powershell links which might be useful)

Returning a value set in the registry.  For example if you optimise the TCPWindowSize in a CCR environment you can use the following in DCM to verify that the values are set correctly as per your design.  (I’m using gp in place of get-itemproperty) :

(gp 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet
\Services\Tcpip\Parameters’).TCPWindowSize
