    I am trying to set the registry key using below command , but somehow the type parameter is not accepted . can anyone correct me if there is a parameter mistake . But when I see the regedit the type is Reg_Dword .

    Invoke-Command -ComputerName @("ServerName") -ScriptBlock{Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKU:\UserSession\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" -Name "ProxyEnable" -Value 1 -Type "DWord"}

    I am getting below error :

    A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Type'.
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-ItemProperty], ParameterBindingException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetItemPropertyCommand
    + PSComputerName        : ServerName

    Best Regards,SQLBoy

    Set-ItemProperty doesn't have a parameter called type, it may create the type based off of what is supplied in the value. New-ItemProperty has a PropertyType parameter which will do what you want.

    There is no suck drive as "HKU".  It is "HKCU:".

    You cannot access other users hives without creating a custom PsDrive.
