Win32_Registry class
The Win32_Registry WMI class represents the system registry on a computer system running Windows.
The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of the inherited properties. Properties and methods are in alphabetic order, not MOF order.

Properties
The Win32_Registry class has these properties.
-
Caption
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MaxLen (64), DisplayName ("Caption")
A short textual description of the object.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
-
-
CurrentSize
-
-
Data type: uint32
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("Win32API|NTDLL.DLL|NtQuerySystemInformation|SystemRegistryQuotaInformation"), Units ("megabytes")
Current physical size of the Windows registry.
Example: 10
-
-
Description
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: DisplayName ("Description")
A textual description of the object.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
-
-
InstallDate
-
-
Data type: datetime
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("MIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.5"), DisplayName ("Install Date")
Indicates when the object was installed. Lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
-
-
MaximumSize
-
-
Data type: uint32
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("Win32Registry|SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control|RegistrySizeLimit"), Units ("megabytes")
Maximum size of the Windows registry. If the system is successful in using the ProposedSize property, MaximumSize should contain the same value.
-
-
Name
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: key, Override ("Name"), MappingStrings ("Win32Registry")
Name of the Windows registry. The maximum length is 256 characters.
-
-
ProposedSize
-
-
Data type: uint32
-
Access type: Read/write
-
Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("Win32Registry|SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control|RegistrySizeLimit"), Units ("megabytes")
Proposed size of the Windows registry. It is the only registry setting that can be modified, and its proposal is attempted the next time the system boots.
-
-
Status
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MaxLen (10), DisplayName ("Status")
String that indicates the current status of the object. Operational and non-operational status can be defined. Operational status can include "OK", "Degraded", and "Pred Fail". "Pred Fail" indicates that an element is functioning properly, but is predicting a failure (for example, a SMART-enabled hard disk drive).
Non-operational status can include "Error", "Starting", "Stopping", and "Service". "Service" can apply during disk mirror-resilvering, reloading a user permissions list, or other administrative work. Not all such work is online, but the managed element is neither "OK" nor in one of the other states.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
Values include the following:
-
-
OK ("OK")
-
Error ("Error")
-
Degraded ("Degraded")
-
Unknown ("Unknown")
-
Pred Fail ("Pred Fail")
-
Starting ("Starting")
-
Stopping ("Stopping")
-
Service ("Service")
-
Stressed ("Stressed")
-
NonRecover ("NonRecover")
-
No Contact ("No Contact")
-
Lost Comm ("Lost Comm")
Remarks
The Win32_Registry class is derived from CIM_LogicalElement.
