13.1 Advanced Server Registry Structure

The Advanced Server Registry is a database organized in an hierarchical struct ure. 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 sub trees.

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

Advanced Server computer.

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 al ways 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 0x8000 0000 to

0xffffffff are reserved for use by applications.

Root key name Description

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Contains information about the local compute r 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.
