I am trying to run a simple batch command -
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Cryptography\Configuration\SSL\00010002\Functions" /f
and it is returning the error "ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value." I know the value name is there (I'm looking at it in the Registry Editor).
I've tried copy/pasting the direct path into the command. I've also tried removing the quotes and running the batch as administrator. I know I can simply right-click the value and click delete, but I may have to do this on many machines and it would be a huge time saver to not have to navigate down in the registry.
You're not deleting a registry key named:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Cryptography\Configuration\SSL\00010002\Functions
You're deleting a registry value, named: Functions which exists under the key named HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Cryptography\Configuration\SSL\00010002.
To perform the task you therefore need to use the correct syntax:
Reg Delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Cryptography\Configuration\SSL\00010002" /V "Functions" /F > NUL
You would also need to run the script 'as Administrator', to prevent an Access is denied message.
