In Advanced Server, most configuration information is centrally stored in a single database called the Registry. The Advanced Server Registry largely replaces the lanman.ini configuration file which is used in LAN Manager for UNIX Systems and earlier versions of Advanced Server.
This appendix contains the following sections:
For information about the Advanced Server parameters that are stored in the lanman.ini file and how lanman.ini file parameters are mapped to Advanced Server Registry keys, see Appendix B, "Lanman.ini File."
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.
|
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. |
The Advanced Server Registry is stored in the /var/opt/lanman/datafiles directory on the Advanced Server computer.
