Event Scenario
The boss has decided you need to check computers on the network. After the check has been completed, a registry key needs to be updated with the date and time of the check. You should test for the existence of the registry key, and if the registry key does not exist, it should be created. If the registry key does exist, it only needs to be updated.
Because this script will be called from a logon script, it does not need the ability to run against a remote machine. We are not concerned in this script with the code that performs the check, only the code that updates the registry key. The registry key should look like the one shown in the following image.
