On Linux, with winexe i need to get the value of a registry key.
The path to the reg key contains spaces.
I use this command :
/usr/bin/winexe -U domain/user%"password" //host 'REG QUERY "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware\Signature Updates" /v ScheduleDay'
i tried with simple quotes, doubles quotes, mix of both of them but i keep getting the message that the key is not valid.
on windows i tried this and it works :
reg query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware\Signature Updates" /v ScheduleDay
How can i handle correctly spaces in bash with winexe ?
I was misled by another problem.
My winexe is a 32 bits application which is running the 32 bits reg.exe on a 64 bits remote system (windows server 2003).
In this context, the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE" is silently pointing on the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node Key of my remote system.
This is caused by the registry redirector of windows

To avoid this redirection i had to force the use of the 64 bits reg.exe like this :
/usr/bin/winexe -U domain/login%"password" //host '**cmd /C %WINDIR%\sysnative\reg.exe** "QUERY" "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware\Signature Updates"'
