Powershell recursive remote registry export to csv - powershell

Question

I am trying to export in CSV format an entire registry folder from remote computer but I have no result and I am not able to set the remote computer I am trying to query.
$RegPath=HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Google
Get-ChildItem $RegPath -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue| Export-CSV -path $ExportFile -notypeinformation

Answer 1

To get a registry item on a remote PC you accomplish this is two ways. First over WSMAN using Invoke-Command
Invoke-Command -ComputerName "ExampleComputer" -ScriptBlock {
Get-ChildItem HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\
} | Export-CSV -path $ExportFile -notypeinformation
Or you can use .Net methods over Remote Registry
$Reg = [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey]::OpenRemoteBaseKey('LocalMachine', "ExampleComputer")
$RegKey= $Reg.OpenSubKey("Software\\Wow6432Node\\Google")
$Value = $RegKey.GetValue("ExampleValue")
$SubKeys = $RegKey.GetSubKeyNames()

Answer 2

I don't think Get-ChildItem accepts a remote PC name, you would need to use something like Get-WmiObject with registry class.
you're best bet is to use psremoteregistry
Import-Module PSRemoteRegistry in an elevated window then use. You could use the native win32 registry class in .net but it's a bit more advanced.

$ScriptBlock=#'
$Table=#()
$RegKeys=Get-ChildItem -Path $RegPath -Recurse
$RegKeys=#($RegKeys)
for ($i=0; $i -lt $RegKeys.Count; $i++) {
$RegKeys[$i].Property | ForEach-Object { $TableRow=New-Object -Type PSObject -Property #{Key=$RegKeys[$i].Name;Value=$_;Data=$RegKeys[$i].GetValue($_)}; $Table+=$TableRow }
}
$Table
'#
$ScriptBlock=[System.Management.Automation.ScriptBlock]::Create($ScriptBlock)
$Results=Invoke-Command -ComputerName $ComputerName -ScriptBlock $ScriptBlock
$Results | Select-Object -Property Key,Value,Data | Export-Csv -Path $ExportPath -Encoding ASCII -NoTypeInformation
