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.
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.
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.
