…val.md The powershell snippet in this document used the wrong variable name in the switch statement (`$value`), making it never work propertly. Fixed by changing it to `$regCheck`.

Broken version was $registryPath = "HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\ChainEngine\Config"
$propertyName = "Options"
try {
$regCheck = (Get-ItemProperty -Path $registryPath -Name $propertyName -ErrorAction Stop).$propertyName
switch ($value) {
0 { "AIA is Enabled" }
2 { "AIA is Disabled" }
default { "Unexpected value: $regCheck" }
}
} catch {
"AIA has not been set"
}Fixed version only changes the condition of the switch: $registryPath = "HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\ChainEngine\Config"
$propertyName = "Options"
try {
$regCheck = (Get-ItemProperty -Path $registryPath -Name $propertyName -ErrorAction Stop).$propertyName
switch ($regCheck) {
0 { "AIA is Enabled" }
2 { "AIA is Disabled" }
default { "Unexpected value: $regCheck" }
}
} catch {
"AIA has not been set"

The powershell snippet in this document used the wrong variable name in the switch statement (
$value), making it never work propertly. Fixed by changing it to$regCheck.Borked version has incorrect output because, in a clean session,
$valueis just$null, hitting thedefaultcase, but outputs "0" to the console, which is further confusing. If$valuehappens to already exist from earlier in the session, any one of the three cases of the switch statement or an exception are possible, depending on what it is, which is obviously also goodn't.
