[chef] Re: RE: Read windows registry Key values

[Sachin Gupta < >]

Thanks Adam for the useful links.

I am trying to execute this code from a recipe to get the values of registry

require 'win32/registry'

keynameComp= "SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\computername\\computername"
keynameActive= "SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\computername\\activecomputername"
compName = ""
compNameActive = ""
access =Win32::Registry::KEY_ALL_ACCESS

Win32::Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.open(keynameComp, KEY_READ) do |reg|
reg.each{|name, value, keys | compName = keys}
end


::Win32::Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.open(keynameActive, KEY_READ) do |reg|
reg.each{|name, value, keys | compNameActive = keys}
end

I am getting error messages as  "[2015-03-02T09:52:32+00:00] FATAL: NameError: uninitialized constant Chef::Win32::Registry::KEY_ALL_ACCESS"

Would like to know, do I need to include any other gem?

Thanks & Regards,

Sachin Gupta

Sachin, have you looked at the docs for the registry_key resource: https://docs.chef.io/resource_registry_key.html, http://docs.chef.io/release/12-0/dsl_recipe.html#registry-get-values ?

 

The registry_key_get_values? DSL element seems like a good place to start, the docs should have examples that clarify the usage.

Subject: [chef] Read windows registry Key values

 

Hi All,

I am working on a use case where I need to read two registry key values and compare there data in a recipe

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\ComputerName\\ActiveComputerName

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\ComputerName\\ComputerName

both are having a value name(ComputerName) and value data(may be same or different). I need to compare there value data.

Do I need to write like this:; or some other better way??

Win32::Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.open(keynameComp, access) do |reg|
reg.each{|name, value, keys | compName = keys}
end
Win32::Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.open(keynameActive, access) do |reg|
reg.each{|name, value, keys | compNameActive = keys}
end

Any idea??


Thanks & Regards,
Sachin Gupta
