I'm still getting the hang of PowerShell and I'm looking for a simpler way to modify a registry value. Currently, I have to go through quite a lengthy process: first using 'Get-ADUser' to get the user's SID, then connecting to their computer through regedit to edit the value manually. With the recent Windows 11 update, calendar notifications have been disabled for about 5,000 users, and I need to change a specific registry key to fix this issue. Specifically, I want to set the value under 'HKEY_USERSSIDsoftwarepoliciesmicrosoftwindowsexplorerdisablenotificationcenter' to 0. Is there a straightforward command I can run for specific users in Active Directory?

I don’t have access to GPO, so I'm also looking for a simple PowerShell script that I can run for specific users to enable their calendars. I need to make this work solely with PowerShell.
If the machines are domain-joined, you should definitely use Group Policy (GPO) to set the registry values. It’s the best way to manage such settings across multiple users. If you're working with cloud-joined devices, consider using Intune instead.
This is definitely a GPO situation. However, if you're really looking to learn how to do this in PowerShell, here's a script that might help:
```powershell
$SIDS = Get-ChildItem -Path "Registry::HKEY_USERS" | Where-Object {$_.Name -like "HKEY_USERSS-1-5-21*"}
foreach ($iterativeValue in $SIDS) {
Set-ItemProperty -path "Registry::$iterativeValuesoftwarepoliciesmicrosoftwindowsexplorerdisablenotificationcenter" -name "whateveryourvaluenameis" -value "0"
}
```
Just a warning: this isn’t a solution for production environments and will only handle current registry entries. Future users may have the same issue without regular maintenance. It's still better to push this via GPO!
