    # === variant 1: use try/catch with ErrorAction stop -> use write-error to signal Intune failed execution
    # example:
    # try
    # {
    #     Set-ItemProperty ... -ErrorAction Stop
    # }
    # catch
    # {   
    #     Write-Error -Message "Could not write regsitry value" -Category OperationStopped
    #     $exitCode = -1
    # }

    # === variant 2: ErrorVariable and check error variable -> use write-error to signal Intune failed execution
    # example:
    # Start-Process ... -ErrorVariable err -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    # if ($err)
    # {
    #     Write-Error -Message "Could not write regsitry value" -Category OperationStopped
    #     $exitCode = -1
    # }
