Hi, is there a way to add credentials to the command?
For example when the logged in user has no rights to modify the registry on the remote-computer?
my command looks like this atm:
Write-RegistryValue -ComputerName $Servername -RegistryHive LocalMachine -RegistryKeyPath "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy\Scripts\Shutdown\0\0" -ValueName 'Parameters' -ValueData force -ValueType String
The script runs with systemrights, wich has no permissions to modify registry remotly, so i would like to add credentials.
Very thank
