Find out fast if your IIS webservers have EnableTrailerSupport enabled for https.sys in the registry. Here is a small PowerShell method.

If you want to find out fast if your IIS webservers have EnableTrailerSupport enabled for https.sys in the registry, here is a small PowerShell method. All you have to do is set the correct SearchBase

To check wether you're safe from CVE-2022-21907, execute the following PowerShell script. It automatically searches all servers in your AD network for the existence of the HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters\EnableTrailerSupport registry value.

foreach( $server in (Get-ADComputer -Filter {(enabled -eq $True)} -SearchBase "OU=...,$((Get-ADDomain).ComputersContainer)").DNSHostname) {
	if(Test-Connection -ComputerName $server -Count 1 -Quiet) {
		Invoke-Command -ComputerName $server -Script {
			Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters" | `
				Select-Object EnableTrailerSupport
			[PSCustomObject]@{
				ServerName = $using:server
				EnableTrailerSupport = $_.EnableTrailerSupport
			}
		} | Select-Object ServerName,EnableTrailerSupport
	}
}

set a correct value for "OU=…".

For a quick list of processes using http.sys, use:

&C:\Windows\System32\netsh.exe http show servicestate
