Remotely registry path controlling via powershell - powershell

Question

My conditions are :
if NeedReboot key is exist then result will be Pending reboot
if NeedReboot key is not exist then result will be NO Pending reboot
My desired output :
Computername,Rebootrequired
Host01,Pending reboot
Host02,NO Pending reboot
Script :
$allComputers = Get-Content '.\path\to\computers.txt'
$domainCred = Get-Credential -UserName "domain01\admin01" -Message "Please enter the DOMAIN password"
$Results = foreach($computer in $allComputers) {
$cred = $domainCred
try {
$VmTools = Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computer -Credential $cred -ScriptBlock {
Test-Path -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\NeedReboot\"
} -ErrorAction Stop
[PsCustomObject]#{ ComputerName = $computer; RebootRequired = ([int]$VmTools -eq "True") }
}
}
$Results | Format-Table -AutoSize
$Results | Export-Csv -Path 'c:\temp\vmtools.csv' -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

Answer 1

Try removing the final backslash after the registry path.
Then, Test-Path just returns $true or $false, so converting that to [int] and comparing to the string "True" makes no sense..
Try
[PsCustomObject]#{
ComputerName = $computer
RebootRequired = if($VmTools) {"Pending Reboot") } else {"NO Pending Reboot"}
}
The code is also missing a catch{..} block that should accompany the try {..} block. Something like:
catch {
[PsCustomObject]#{
ComputerName = $computer
RebootRequired = "Error reading registry"
}
}
