Powershell将注册表转换为XML以进行GPO分配

Question

To have the taskbar pinned applications customized via a GPO on a domain I have to have an XML version of a registry export. (There is not a windows 10 Taskbar Pinned apps setting so it has to be done via reg setting)

I have looked for registry-to-XML converters so that I can have an XML file for my GPO, but I have not found a functioning one.

Does anyone have a link to a functioning powersheel script, or can identify what is wrong with these?

The script from this page: https://4sysops.com/archives/convert-reg-to-xml-to-import-registry-key-into-group-policy-preferences/

https://4sysops.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/RegToXML.zip

gets me this error:

New-Object : Exception calling ".ctor" with "1" argument(s): "Could not find file 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\test1.reg'."
At C:\RegToXML.ps1:43 char:7

The script from here: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Registry-To-GroupPolicyPref-9feae9a3

Results in this error:

Answer 1

If you use that script from MS-Gallery ( Convert-RegToGppXml.ps1 ) then you should use the complete Sourcepath (eg C:\\users\\xyz\\script.reg). Dont use quotation marks in path!
