How to access properties of Get-Child Registry output

Using the below code, I get Name & LastLogon populated, but not ProfilePath.

Add-RegKeyMember is https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Get-Last-Write-Time-and-06dcf3fb .

I have tried to access ProfileImagePath with $Profile.Properties.ProfileImagePath, $Profile.Name.ProfileImagePath, and others, but they all return blank (could be null). How on earth is this seemingly object making these properties available?

$Profiles = get-childitem "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList" | Add-RegKeyMember

foreach($Profile in $Profiles)
{

  $ThisProfileInfo = @{Name=$Profile.Name;
                     LastLogon=$Profile.LastWriteTime;
                     ProfilePath=$Profile.ProfileImagePath}
  $Profile
}

Name                           Property

Please see the below adjustments to your script.

You can pull the sub values of property by using the method GetValue.

I have also adjusted how you are storing each iteration and outputting the value post the foreach loop as the example above will just output each $profile as it was before the loop.

I have not tested with Add-RegKeyMember and therefore I am unable to confirm if this will pull the LastWriteTime property, but I can confirm that this will pull the profileimagepath property.

$Profiles = get-childitem "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList" | Add-RegKeyMember

$ProfileData = @()

foreach($Profile in $Profiles){
    $ThisProfileInfo = $null

    $ThisProfileInfo = @{Name=$Profile.Name;
                 LastLogon=$Profile.GetValue("LastWriteTime");
                 ProfilePath=$Profile.GetValue("ProfileImagePath")}

    $ProfileData += $ThisProfileInfo
}

$ProfileData

This is because [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey] object returns properties as string array. You should simply retrieve the value ProfileImagePath from the object itself :

ProfilePath=$Profile.GetValue("ProfileImagePath")
