In the following example, we try to determine which machines have visual studio by collecting registry key information

Goal: Read registry value from remote machine

Source: Read remote machine names from .txt file

Result: Get results in .csv format

# Script start here

# get machinenames from .txt file makine isimlerini txt belgesinden al

$computername = Get-Content -path “c:\scripts\pclists.txt”

#————————————————————————————-

# test machines / makineyi kontrol et

if (test-connection -computername $computername -Count 2)

#————————————————————————————-

{

foreach ($pc in $computername)

{

# reset variables / değişkenleri sıfırla

$loggedon = “”

$reg = “”

$LMPS = “”

$LMPS2 = “”

$LMPS3 = “”

$regkey = “”

$regkey2 = “”

$regkey3 = “”

$MakineDurumu = “”

#————————————————————————————-

# test machine / makineyi kontrol et

$MakineDurumu=Test-Connection -computername $pc -Count 2 -Quiet

if ($MakineDurumu -eq $False) {

Write-Host $pc “Can not access the machine”

# if there is no access to the machine, write “Can not access the machine” in the first serial column / makineye erişim yok ise ilk serial kolonuna “Makineye erişilemiyor” yaz

$LMPS = “Can not access the machine”

}

else

{

# If accessed to the machine, write “machine accessed” and continue / makineye erişilerse $pc “Makinesine erişildi” yaz ve devam et

Write-Host $pc “machine accessed”

# check the machine name / makine adını sorgula

$loggedon =@(Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $pc -Namespace root\cimv2 -Class Win32_ComputerSystem)[0].UserName;

# Check for Visual Studio 2010 reg key / Visual Studio 2010 reg key var mı kontrol et

#VS10

$reg = [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey]::OpenRemoteBaseKey(‘LocalMachine’, $pc)

$regkey = $reg.OpenSubkey(‘SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Registration\2000.0×0000’)

$LMPS3 = $regkey3.GetValue(‘PIDKEY’)

 

}

# add all incoming data to .csv file / gelen tüm veriyi .csv dosyasına ekle

Add-Content “c:\scripts\VS_20141105.csv” “$pc;$LMPS;$LMPS2;$LMPS3”

}
