I've been trying to Rename a registry Key on a remote system, I've found info to do this locally but not remotely. Anyone know of a way to do it, except for deleting and recreating?

It is too hard to accomplish this via PowerShell (.NET or WMI). However we can easily use reg.exe utility: $source = "hklm\software\abc" $dest = "hklm\software\abcd" $computer = "computer" $a = reg copy \\$computer\$source \\$computer\$dest /s if ($a) {reg delete \\$computer\$source /f} else {write-warning "some error occurred"}
