REG_CHECK

This policy item checks if the registry key (or item) exists or not. The check is performed by calling the functions RegOpenKeyEx and RegQueryValueEx.

Note: This check requires remote registry access for the remote Windows system to function properly.

Usage

<custom_item>

type: REG_CHECK

description: ["description"]

value_type: [VALUE_TYPE]

value_data: [value]

reg_option: [OPTION_TYPE]

(optional) check_type: [value]

(optional) key_item: [item value]

</custom_item>

The allowed types are:

value_type: POLICY_TEXT

value_data: "key path"

reg_option: MUST_EXIST or MUST_NOT_EXIST

key_item: "item name"

If the key_item field is not specified, this item checks that the key path exists. Otherwise, it checks that the item exists.
