IMSAdminBase::AddKey

The IMSAdminBase::AddKey method creates a key and adds it to the metabase as a subkey of an existing key at the specified path.

HRESULT AddKey(
      METADATA_HANDLE hMDHandle,
      LPCWSTR pszMDPath
);

Parameters

• hMDHandle
  Specifies a handle with write permissions as returned by the IMSAdminBase::OpenKey method. The value METADATA_MASTER_ROOT_HANDLE is not valid for this operation.

• pszMDPath
  Points to a string that contains the new key's path, relative to the path of hMDHandle. For example, if the handle references the /LM key, you could specify the Web services subkey using the path /LM/W3SVC.

  This parameter cannot be null.

Return Values

Returns an HRESULT that contains one of the following values:

Value	Description

HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS)	A key of that name already exists in the metabase.
HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_INVALID_NAME)	The specified name is invalid.
E_INVALIDARG	The parameter is incorrect.
HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY)	Not enough storage is available to process this command.
