I’m trying to do more and more with PowerShell lately. I’ve found it’s a really quick way to make changes on Windows Server. Experimenting with Information Rights Management in SharePoint 2013, I needed to create 3 registry keys and set the value of 2.
Here’s a script example for setting the Windows Registry keys for client-side ADRMS service discovery:
New-Item -Path ‘HKLM:SOFTWAREMicrosoftMSIPCServiceLocation’
New-Item -Path ‘HKLM:SOFTWAREMicrosoftMSIPCServiceLocationEnterprisePublishing’`
-value ‘http://adrms.adventureworks.com/_wmcs/licensing/license.asmx’
New-Item -Path ‘HKLM:SOFTWAREMicrosoftMSIPCServiceLocationEnterpriseCertification’`
-value ‘http://adrms.adventureworks.com/_wmcs/certification’
If you need to delete a key it’s just as easy:
Remove-Item -Path ‘HKLM:SOFTWAREMicrosoftMSIPCServiceLocationEnterpriseCertification’
