I attempted to search the forum assuming someone had asked this question already, but was unable to find anything. I apologize if this is a duplicate.
I am trying to retrieve the value of "ComputerId" under hklm\software\wow6432node\bigfix\enterpriseclient\globaloptions on a Windows 2012R2 server. As you can tell from the Key path, this is a 32bit key. I have tried WOW32, WOW64 and WOWNative without success. I have attempted the code below, even going back to the root of HKLM and recursively listing all Keys. When doing this, ONLY 2 keys are displayed. It almost seems as though it is a permissions issue but I am using a local admin account. Perhaps elevation is needed? If so, how do I elevate using Guest Operations?
var host = vm.sdkConnection;
//var regex = "~/^ComputerId$/"
var guestOperationsManager = host.guestOperationsManager;
var guestAuth = new VcNamePasswordAuthentication();
guestAuth.username = vmUsername;
guestAuth.password = vmPassword;
guestAuth.interactiveSession = true
var guestRegKeySpec = new VcGuestRegKeyNameSpec()
guestRegKeySpec.registryPath = "HKLM"
guestRegKeySpec.wowBitness = regKeyWowSpec;
var regMgr = guestOperationsManager.guestWindowsRegistryManager;
var regKeyValues = regMgr.listRegistryKeysInGuest(vm , guestAuth , guestRegKeySpec , true , null)
for each(regKeyValue in regKeyValues){
System.debug(regKeyValue.key.keyName.registryPath)
//System.debug(regKeyValue.name)
}
