Add a Registry Key to Windows 11 Using Intune

In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the steps to add a registry key to Windows 11 using Intune.

As more and more businesses move towards cloud-based solutions, the need for efficient and centralized device management has become increasingly important. Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based service that allows administrators to manage devices and applications from a single platform, and it can be used to add registry keys to Windows 11 devices.

To apply registry keys to Intune-managed machines we need to use PowerShell cmdlets and push them to managed machines using a PowerShell script.

PowerShell Script

The following script will add a registry setting to a Windows 10 \ 11 machine. Use the variables to add the registry key details. The script also checks if the key exists before creating it.

$Path = "HKCU:\Software\ntweeklycom\"
$Name = "blogname"
$value = "ntweeky.com"
$type="REG_SZ" # String


if((Test-Path -LiteralPath $path) -ne $true) {  New-Item  $Path -force -ea SilentlyContinue };
New-ItemProperty -LiteralPath $path -Name $name -Value $value -PropertyType $type -Force -ea SilentlyContinue;
