Windows RE Status - reagentc

Question

is there a way we can find out across all devices (1000+) to see if the windows recovery is enabled? Currently i need to go to each device and run reagentc /info to check the status. But these is time consuming and not possible. So is there any SCCM report or some sort of registry key that i can query remotely to check the status ?

Answer 1

Possible suggestion... As a Configuration Item:

Discovery Script:

==================

$Test = reagentc /info | findstr "status"

if ($Test.Replace("Windows RE status: ", "").TRIM() - eq 'Enabled')

{ write-Host "Enabled"}

Else

{ write-host "WinRe is not Enabled"}

===================

Remediation Script (if you choose to remediate...):

===================

$Test = reagentc /info | findstr "status"

if ($Test.Replace("Windows RE status: ", "").TRIM() - eq 'Enabled')

{ write-Host "Enabled"}

Else

{ $EnableIt = Reagentc /Enable }

===========

"What Means Compliant" string of == Enabled

=======Optionally==========

Make the CI an "Application type" CI, and for Detection Method, make it script based, and use a script that will only write-host something if the target fits your criteria, like perhaps you don't want to enable WinRe if the device is VMWare.

Hello there,

The Get-ComputerRestorePoint cmdlet gets the local computer's system restore points. And, it can display the status of the most recent attempt to restore the computer.

System restore points and the Get-ComputerRestorePoint cmdlet are supported only on client operating systems such as Windows 10.

Its not about computer restore. I am looking for Windows recovery status on the device

Hi, @vinodprosk

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

I tried the below script, and run the script for a device with all clients and get the results:

$a=reagentc /info  
$a[3]

Hello,

If you are running Windows 11, there are new commands for Powershell for BCD-Entry which would capture this information.

The information is stored in the BCD file.
