Python WMI _wmireg - retrieving values

I am trying to retrieve the values inside the Registry Object retrieved using python WMI.

import _winreg
import wmi
c = wmi.WMI(computer="10.31.247.8", user="devuser", password="devpass1!",namespace="root/default").StdRegProv


result, names = c.EnumKey (
hDefKey=_winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
sSubKeyName="SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\MRxDAV"
)

for item in names:
    print item

Output:

EncryptedDirectories
Parameters
Security 
Enum

I want to retrieve the value of the string "ImagePath" present inside the directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\MRxDAV. The part I want to retrieve is provided in the image below:

Solution

  • You need to use the GetStringValue() method instead of EnumKey():

    import _winreg
import wmi
c = wmi.WMI(computer="10.31.247.8", user="devuser", password="devpass1!",namespace="root/default").StdRegProv

result, imagePath = c.GetStringValue (
hDefKey=_winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
sSubKeyName="SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\MRxDAV",
sValueName="ImagePath"
)
print imagePath
