Hi,
Does anyone have an example of using win_regedit to set binary data?
I have a hex encoded string from a reg export but so far not found a way to convert it to whatever powershell needs.
Many thanks,
Jon
To follow up, it appears you need to convert the incoming data to a byte array. I have some prototype code that can do this and will tidy up the code and create a pull request to add this when I get the chance. If anyone else hits this before the PR is available let me know and I’ll send you a modified version of win_regedit.
All the best,
Jon
It’s been a while, but as promised, pull request to fix working with binary registry data here:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/pull/2034
Also integration tests added for win_regedit here: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/15422
I tested against Server 2008 R2 and Server 2012 R2 so if anyone has other windows versions they could test against, I’d be very grateful.
Many thanks,
Jon
