13.1 Advanced Server Registry Structure

The Advanced Server Registry is a database organized in an hierarchical structure. It is composed of subtrees and their keys, and value entries. A key also can contain additional subkeys.

The following table identifies and defines the Advanced Server Registry subtrees.

Root key name	Description
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE	Contains information about the local computer system,
	including hardware and operating system data such as
	bus type, system memory, device drivers, and startup
	control data.
HKEY_USERS	Contains all actively loaded user profiles and the default
	profile. Users who are accessing a server remotely do not
	have profiles under this key on the server; their profiles
	are loaded into the registry on their own computers.

The Advanced Server Registry is stored in the /var/opt/lanman/datafiles directory on the Advanced Server computer.

13.1.1 Value Entries in the Registry Keys

Each registry key can contain data items called value entries. Keys are analogous to direc- tories, and value entries are analogous to files.

A value entry has three parts: the name of the value, the data type of the value, and the value itself, which can be data of any length. The three parts of value entries always appear in the following order.

Data types, such as REG_SZ or REG_EXPAND_SZ, describe the format of the data which can be up to 1 MB. Data types from 0 to 0x7fffffff are reserved for definition by the system, and applications are encouraged to use these types. Data types from 0x80000000 to 0xffffffff are reserved for use by applications.
