Import .reg files remotely with PowerShell and PSSession

Been into PowerShell and Automation for a while now.

#Creating PSCredential object Snippit
$User = “M-toTheI’ke”
$File = “\\Contra2\D$\Powershell\Password\Password.txt”
$MyCredential= New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential `
-ArgumentList $User, (Get-Content $File | ConvertTo-SecureString)

#Build Session
$servers = Get-Content “c:\Powershell\Servers.txt”

Location of Registry file to import. Notice “.reg”
$RegFile = “\\Contra2\D$\Player2.reg”

foreach ($server in $servers)

<#Building a session for remote servers based on the content of the servers.txt #>
$Session = New-PSSession -computername $server -credential $MyCredential

<#Taking file from hosted location of file and forcing it to the built session #>
Copy-Item -Path “$RegFile” -Destination “C:\Utils\” -force -ToSession ` $session

#Validate File exists **Code here** NOT DONE

#Command to run the regedit to import the newly copied player2.reg
Invoke-Command -session $session -ScriptBlock {regedit /i /s C:\Utils\player2.reg}


Many ways to skin this but I can now use this to multiple remote servers as long as the WINRM port and services will accept the session remotely.
