);

Parameters

TBD

Return value

None

Remarks

You can collect registry data from the following registry hives:

  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
  • HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
  • HKEY_USERS

To collect a registry value, specify the full path to the value name, for example, \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MyKey\MyValue.

To collect all the values under a registry key, specify the full path to the registry key, for example, \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MyKey\.

To collect all the values under a registry key and its subkeys, use two backslashes for the last path delimiter, for example, \\computername\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MyKey\\. PLA recursively collects the registry data down to the level specified in the IConfigurationDataCollector::RegistryMaxRecursiveDepth property.

To collect registry information from a remote computer, include the computer name at the beginning of the registry path, for example, \\computername\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MyKey\MyValue.
