Registry scanning

EMCO Network Inventory enables you to search the registry of any LAN machine for a key, value, or even data. You can choose which root keys to include, whether it has to be an exact match or not, and whether the search string is a key, a value, or data (or any combination).

If you only need to search for a particular key value, and you know what that value is, the Registry Value Lookup feature is more useful (refer to Registry value lookup for more information).

To use registry scanning:

1. Click on the Tool Functions > Registry Scanning menu option.

2. Drag and drop the required machines or domains from the LAN tree on the left to the Processing Queue tab on the right.

3. Click on the button

4. Click on the type of keys to search for in the tick boxes in the RootKeys area and indicate whether the search is case sensitive or not.

5. Indicate what type of data to search for in the Scope area and what type of search to perform in the Match Type area.

6. Enter the key and string to search for in the Key and Search String fields and click on the button.

   

7. Click on the button.

8. The results are now displayed in the Status tab. You can save, chart, or export these results, if required (refer to Tool functions for more information).
