Hyper-V WMI: KVP Exchange aka Data Exchange (Retrieving and Modifying Parent/Host KVP’s)
On Sunday I showed how to add registry keys to the guest from the host (Hyper-V WMI: KVP Exchange aka Data Exchange (Adding New Items From Parent/Host)) and on Monday I showed how to read registry key’s written by the guest from the host (Hyper-V WMI- KVP Exchange aka Data Exchange (Adding New Items From Guest)). Today I am going to show how to retrieve previously added host keys and modify there values…
Retrieving Previously Added Key’s
filter Import-CimXml
{
$CimXml = [Xml]$_
$CimObj = New-Object -TypeName System.Object
foreach ($CimProperty in $CimXml.SelectNodes("/INSTANCE/PROPERTY"))
{
$CimObj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name $CimProperty.NAME -Value $CimProperty.VALUE
}
$CimObj
}
$Vm = Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\virtualization -Query "Select * From Msvm_ComputerSystem Where ElementName='vista'"
$Kvp = Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\virtualization -Query "Associators of {$Vm} Where AssocClass=Msvm_SystemDevice ResultClass=Msvm_KvpExchangeComponent"
$GuestKvp = Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\virtualization -Query "Associators of {$Kvp} Where AssocClass=Msvm_ElementSettingData ResultClass=Msvm_KvpExchangeComponentSettingData"
$GuestKvp.HostExchangeItems | Import-CimXml
|
Modifying Previously Added Key’s
This is almost identical to the script to add a KVP except in this case you need to provide a Name of an existing KVP and call the ModifyKvpItems method…
Note: If you are using my ProcessWMIObject function and getting a blank error message you should update to the latest version posted 7/6.
$ComputerName = "localhost"
$VMManagementService = Get-WmiObject -class "Msvm_VirtualSystemManagementService" -namespace "root\virtualization" -ComputerName $ComputerName
$Vm = Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\virtualization -ComputerName $ComputerName -Query "Select * From Msvm_ComputerSystem Where ElementName='Vista'"
$Kvp = Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\virtualization -ComputerName $ComputerName -Query "Associators of {$Vm} Where AssocClass=Msvm_SystemDevice ResultClass=Msvm_KvpExchangeComponent"
$Msvm_KvpExchangeDataItemPath = "\\$ComputerName\root\virtualization:Msvm_KvpExchangeDataItem"
$Msvm_KvpExchangeDateItem = ([WmiClass]$Msvm_KvpExchangeDataItemPath).CreateInstance()
$Msvm_KvpExchangeDateItem.Name = <Previous Key Name>
$Msvm_KvpExchangeDateItem.Data = "Foo"
$Msvm_KvpExchangeDateItem.Source = 0
$VMManagementService.ModifyKvpItems($Vm, $Msvm_KvpExchangeDateItem.PSBase.GetText(1))
