Ensure-RegistryValue did not work due to authorization access

[pcamelio]

Hello

I ran the following Plan Windows::Ensure-RegistryValue

    (
        Name: AllowTelemetry,
        Value: 0,
        Kind: DWord,
        Hive: LocalMachine,
        Key: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\DataCollection
    );

And I have got the following error

Unhandled exception: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Impossible d'écrire dans la clé de Registre.
   at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw()
   at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task)

The agent - 2.0.8 - is running with Windows account (local admin rights). I have the same problem on the otter server itself. - setup without the Agent -

• Otter server : Windows 2016 Datacenter Core with IIS 10.
• OtterpAppPool is running under the windows account.
• Otter Client : Windows 2016 Datacenter Core

I modified the registry authorization, but the problem is still present.

I try with an other registry value

Windows::Ensure-RegistryValue
(
    Name: EnableRemoteManagement,
    Value: 1,
    Kind: DWord,
    Hive: LocalMachine,
    Key: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WebManagement\Server
);
```unsuccessfully

I have found that I made a big mistake in the syntax.

Windows::Ensure-RegistryValue
(
    Name: EnableRemoteManagement,
    Value: 1,
    Kind: DWord,
    Hive: LocalMachine,
    Key: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WebManagement\Server
);

have to be write:

(
    Name: EnableRemoteManagement,
    Value: 1,
    Kind: DWord,
    Hive: LocalMachine,
    Key: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WebManagement\Server\**EnableRemoteManagement**
);

You should write documentation in French :)
