I want do an export of the current state of the following path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

And so I can do that with:

reg export HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters C:\test.reg /y

What I would like is to perform a restore with that .reg but not just fix/overwrite existing keys, I also need to delete anything that may have been added so that it's a true return to the original state.

Is there a simple way to do this?

Thanks!

When the server is ping'd the resulting address is compared to an inventory for purposes of keeping the inventory up to date.

I'm trying to tack on the result as "good" or "bad" in the next corresponding cell over. It sort of works except the result is always "bad" with the workflow I have set up.

The CSV contains the server name and IP address pulled from an excel inventory, and is formatted like this:

name,ipaddress
server1,10.1.24.51
server2,10.1.24.52
server3,10.1.24.53
server4,10.1.27.101
server5,10.1.27.102 <--- purposely wrong IP address for testing

Current script:

$serverlist = Import-Csv -Path file.csv

ForEach ($server in $serverlist) {

    $thisservername = $server.name
    $thisserveripaddress = $server.ipaddress

    $pingdaddress = (Test-Connection -ComputerName $thisservername -Count 1 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Verbose).IPV4Address.IPAddressToString

    if ($pingdaddress -ne $thisserveripaddress) {

        #$thisservername + " bad"
        $serverlist | Select-Object name,ipaddress, @{Name='connection';Expression={'bad'}} | `
        Export-Csv -Path file.csv -NoTypeInformation

    } else {

        #$thisservername + " good"
        $serverlist | Select-Object name,ipaddress, @{Name='connection';Expression={'good'}} | `
        Export-Csv -Path file.csv -NoTypeInformation

    }

}

I'm getting pumped up for DSC and I want to cover my bases. I see that Enable-PSRemoting actually runs Set-WSManQuickConfig according to help documentation, I guess my main question is, what is the difference between the two? Looks like newer documentation whether it be a book or online article only mentions Enable-PSRemoting and not necessarily Set-WSManQuickConfig. Is Enable-PSRemoting just newer/better? Thanks in advance.
