I finally decided to see if I could put to use the WMI registry provider since at work there are occasions with RAS clients that I can't get to their registry because network and file sharing is turned off but I can get to WMI.

I stole someone elses vbs code and started with EnumKey but I can't get any values back. I am hoping I am just tired and missing something because of that.

Has anyone tried this before? This is not finished by any means but here is what I have so far.
Code:
$Computer = "Computer"
$WMIRegComputer = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" + $Computer + "\root\default:StdRegProv")

$Registry = "\\" + $Computer + "\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WBEM"

$RC = fnEnumKey($Registry, $WMIRegComputer)
? UBound($RC) 
? Join($RC, @CRLF)

QUIT 1

FUNCTION fnEnumKey($RegKey, $WMIRegComputerName)
	DIM $HKCR, $HKCU, $HKLM, $HKU, $HKCC
		
	$HKCR = &80000000	;HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
	$HKCU = &80000001	;HKEY_CURRENT_USER
	$HKLM = &80000002	;HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
	$HKU = &80000003		;HKEY_USERS
	$HKCC = &80000005	;HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG

	DIM $Key, $SubKey
	IF VarType($WMIRegComputerName) = 9
		SELECT
			CASE InStr($RegKey, "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT") > 0 OR InStr($RegKey, "HKCR") > 0
				$Key = $HKCR
				IF InStr($RegKey, "HKCR") > 0
					$SubKey = Split($RegKey, "HKCR\")[1]
				ELSE
					$SubKey = Split($RegKey, "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\")[1]
				ENDIF
			CASE InStr($RegKey, "HKEY_CURRENT_USER") > 0 OR InStr($RegKey, "HKCU") > 0
				$Key = $HKCU
				IF InStr($RegKey, "HKCU") > 0
					$SubKey = Split($RegKey, "HKCU\")[1]
				ELSE
					$SubKey = Split($RegKey, "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\")[1]
				ENDIF
			CASE InStr($RegKey, "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE") > 0 OR InStr($RegKey, "HKLM") > 0
				$Key = $HKLM
				IF InStr($RegKey, "HKLM") > 0
					$SubKey = Split($RegKey, "HKLM\")[1]
				ELSE
					$SubKey = Split($RegKey, "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\")[1]
				ENDIF
			CASE InStr($RegKey, "HKEY_USERS") > 0 OR InStr($RegKey, "HKU") > 0
				$Key = $HKU
				IF InStr($RegKey, "HKU") > 0
					$SubKey = Split($RegKey, "HKU\")[1]
				ELSE
					$SubKey = Split($RegKey, "HKEY_USERS\")[1]
				ENDIF
			CASE InStr($RegKey, "HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG") > 0 OR InStr($RegKey, "HKCC") > 0
				$Key = $HKCC
				IF InStr($RegKey, "HKCC") > 0
					$SubKey = Split($RegKey, "HKCC\")[1]
				ELSE
					$SubKey = Split($RegKey, "HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\")[1]
				ENDIF
		ENDSELECT

		IF $Key <> "" AND $SubKey <> ""
			DIM $Ret[0]
			$sKeys = $WMIRegComputerName.EnumKey($Key, $SubKey)
			REDIM $Ret[UBound($sKeys)]
			FOR $Count = 0 TO UBound($sKeys)
				$Ret[$Count] = $sKeys[$Count]
			NEXT
			$fnEnumKey = Join($Ret, @CRLF)
		ENDIF
	ENDIF

Maybe if we saw the original VBS code we could see what you changed and what you may have missed.

You assign the hex values but because of the limitation on integers, they come across as negative numbers.

'$$HKCR = '$HKCR ?
'$$HKCU = '$HKCU ?
'$$HKLM = '$HKLM ?
'$$HKU = '$HKU ?
'$$HKCC = '$HKCC ?

Here is the original vbs code that I found. http://cwashington.netreach.net/depo/view.asp?Index=560&ScriptType=vbscript

As a good KiXtarter you should always consult our local UDF Forum first before venturing out into the dark territories of VBScripts. See for example fnWMIWriteValue() - Write to a local or remote registry using WMI with authentication

If you look at the WMI documentation for the EnumKey method you'll see the following parameters:

uint32 EnumKey(uint32 hDefKey,string sSubKeyName,string sNames[]);

...where sNames[] is an output parameter.

Sadly, output parameters are not supported by KiXtart COM.

I saw it and and am using it as a reference. I changed over to using the CINT() values. But, I believe the bigger problem is with getting the return value from EnumKey. The VBS code is Code:
oReg.EnumKey Key,SubKey, sKeys
. As we know, I can't get sKeys in kix with this syntax.

Code:
FUNCTION fnEnumKey($RegKey, $WMIRegComputerName)
	DIM $HKCR, $HKCU, $HKLM, $HKU, $HKCC
		
;	$HKCR = &80000000	;HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
	$HKCR = CInt(2147483648.0) ;&80000000	;HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
;	$HKCU = &80000001	;HKEY_CURRENT_USER
	$HKCU = CInt(2147483649.0) ;&80000001	;HKEY_CURRENT_USER
;	$HKLM = &80000002	;HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
	$HKLM = CInt(2147483650.0) ;&80000002	;HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
;	$HKU = &80000003	;HKEY_USERS
	$HKU = CInt(2147483652.0) ;&80000003	;HKEY_USERS
;	$HKCC = &80000005	;HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG
	$HKCC = CInt(2147483653.0) ;&80000005	;HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG
	DIM $Key, $SubKey
	IF VarType($WMIRegComputerName) = 9
		SELECT
			CASE InStr($RegKey, "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT") > 0 OR InStr($RegKey, "HKCR") > 0
				$Key = $HKCR
				IF InStr($RegKey, "HKCR") > 0
					$SubKey = Split($RegKey, "HKCR\")[1]
				ELSE
					$SubKey = Split($RegKey, "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\")[1]
				ENDIF
			CASE InStr($RegKey, "HKEY_CURRENT_USER") > 0 OR InStr($RegKey, "HKCU") > 0
				$Key = $HKCU
				IF InStr($RegKey, "HKCU") > 0
					$SubKey = Split($RegKey, "HKCU\")[1]
				ELSE
					$SubKey = Split($RegKey, "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\")[1]
				ENDIF
			CASE InStr($RegKey, "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE") > 0 OR InStr($RegKey, "HKLM") > 0
				$Key = $HKLM
				IF InStr($RegKey, "HKLM") > 0
					$SubKey = Split($RegKey, "HKLM\")[1]
				ELSE
					$SubKey = Split($RegKey, "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\")[1]
				ENDIF
			CASE InStr($RegKey, "HKEY_USERS") > 0 OR InStr($RegKey, "HKU") > 0
				$Key = $HKU
				IF InStr($RegKey, "HKU") > 0
					$SubKey = Split($RegKey, "HKU\")[1]
				ELSE
					$SubKey = Split($RegKey, "HKEY_USERS\")[1]
				ENDIF
			CASE InStr($RegKey, "HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG") > 0 OR InStr($RegKey, "HKCC") > 0
				$Key = $HKCC
				IF InStr($RegKey, "HKCC") > 0
					$SubKey = Split($RegKey, "HKCC\")[1]
				ELSE
					$SubKey = Split($RegKey, "HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\")[1]
				ENDIF
		ENDSELECT

		IF $Key <> "" AND $SubKey <> ""
			DIM $Ret[0]
			$sKeys = $WMIRegComputerName.EnumKey($Key, $SubKey)
? VarTypeName($sKeys)
? $sKeys
			REDIM $Ret[UBound($sKeys)]
			FOR $Count = 0 TO UBound($sKeys)
				$Ret[$Count] = $sKeys[$Count]
			NEXT
			$fnEnumKey = Join($Ret, @CRLF)
		ENDIF
	ENDIF

Chris S. Thanks, That is what I was afraid of.

I have started looking at the ExecMethod to see if I can get lucky. But I am afraid I might have trouble with the parameter names. We will see.

I think you know this but there are other ways to get the output parameters. I assume there is a similar function to this one in the UDF section. This is why I have not given up yet.Code:
FUNCTION fnProcessRun($ProcessCommand, $WMIComputerName, OPTIONAL $ProcessHidden, OPTIONAL $ProcessStartDir)
;--- This will start a process on a computer.
	IF $ProcessHidden
		$objProcStart = $WMIComputerName.Get("Win32_ProcessStartup")
		$ProcStartInst = $objProcStart.SpawnInstance_
		$ProcStartInst.ShowWindow = "0"
		$procStartInst.Put_
	ENDIF
	$objProc = $WMIComputerName.Get("Win32_Process")
	$objProcInst = $ObjProc.Methods_("Create").InParameters.SpawnInstance_
	$objProcInst.CommandLine = $ProcessCommand
	IF $ProcessStartDir
		$objProcInst.CurrentDirectory = $ProcessStartDir
	ENDIF
	IF $ProcessHidden
		$objProcInst.ProcessStartupInformation = $ProcStartInst
	ENDIF
	$objProcOut = $WMIComputerName.ExecMethod("Win32_Process","Create",$objProcInst)
	$fnProcessRunError = @Error
	$fnProcessRun = $objProcOut.Processid
;	$pid = $objProcOut.Processid
;	$owner = $WMIComputerName.Get("Win32_Process=$pid").ExecMethod_("GetOwner")
;? "Process " + $pid + " was created by " + $owner.domain +  "\" + $owner.user + "."
	EXIT $fnProcessRunError
ENDFUNCTION

Here it is and it works. You can look at this page dealing with jscript, . http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/writing_wmi_scripts_in_jscript.asp Code:
$Computer = "Computer"
$WMIRegComputer = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" + $Computer + "\root\default:StdRegProv")

$Registry = "\\" + $Computer + "\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WBEM"

$RC = fnEnumKey($Registry, $WMIRegComputer)
? UBound($RC)
