Question : Search list of multiple pc names, search registry for string value and delete entry
This is a follow up to the following question asked by gomeara about "Search registry for string value and delete all entries found using script or other networking tool" 02-10-09 and answered by RobSampson on 02/11/09 03:07 PM.
I am running AppMgmt in GPO and just recently a change in the Virus Protection Policy that was deployed deleted a software package off of bunch of workstations, which of course caused over a 1000+ wks to lose this application. However the Virus protection left the GPO GUID in the registry so the GPO still thinks the workstations are up to date. This is a enterprise app so i can't pull it off of all workstations to fix it. All I need it to delete the regkey under the following path:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Wi
ndows\Curr
entVersion
\GroupPoli
cy\AppMgmt
\{GUID-ID}
Then do a force reboot of the workstation with psshutdown or something along those lines and GPO will do a reinstall
I need this script to only run against a list of workstations in a wkslist.txt file and be able to pull a regkey value from a regkey.txt which is a secondary txt file. Of course it would be nice to see results in a logfile too.
The original post by (gomeara) is here with the code but this will not work for what I need to do.
