Hi all
i want to add the below two registry keys on windows servers.
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverrideMask /t REG_DWORD /d 3 /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverride /t REG_DWORD /d 72 /f

i have servers list in text file. i am not sure will the below script work for me.

$ServersList = "C:\servers.txt"
$SS = get-Content -Path $ServersList
foreach ($Servers in $SS ) {
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $Servers -ScriptBlock {
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverrideMask /t REG_DWORD /d 3 /f

Looks like it should work. Put one machine name in the file and test it.

FWIW, there's no need for the 'foreach' loop. Just use the '$SS' variable as the argument to the -ComputerName parameter in the Invoke-Command cmdlet.
