The Registry path that contains entries for the Advanced Server User Service Parameters is as follows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
\AdvancedServer\UserServiceParameters
CreateUnixUser REG_DWORD 0 or 1
Automatically creates and assigns a similarly-named UNIX system user account to every new Advanced Server user account created in the domain in which the server is a member. The value of this key must be set to 1 on every server on which UNIX system accounts are to be created. Note that new Advanced Server users are assigned to the UNIX system lmworld account..
Default: 0 (do not create UNIX system user account)
You can change the value of this key using the AS/U Administrator.
Exclude REG_SZ Character string
Specifies existing UNIX system user IDs excluded from being assigned to Advanced Server user accounts. If an Advanced Server user account is created whose name matches an existing UNIX system user account whose ID is contained in the exclude list, a new UNIX system user account will be generated automatically and assigned to the Advanced Server user account. This can be used to ensure that certain existing UNIX system user accounts never are assigned automatically to newly-created Advanced Server user accounts, even if the ForceUniqueUnixUserAccount key is set to 0.
Default: 0 - 100
ForceUniqueUnixUserAccount REG_DWORD 0 or 1
Specifies whether to assign automatically an existing UNIX system user account to a newly-created Advanced Server user account. If you select 1, then the system does not assign existing UNIX system user accounts. Instead, new UNIX system user accounts are generated automatically and assigned to Advanced Server user accounts when they are created.
Default: 0 (A new Advanced Server user account can be assigned automatically to an existing UNIX system user account with an equal or similar name, provided that the UNIX system user account is not specified in the exclude list.)
GroupUpdateTime REG_DWORD 0 - infinity
The interval in seconds at which the server checks the UNIX system file /etc/group for changes.
Default: 3600 seconds (1 hour)
NewUserShell REG_SZ Character string

Default: /bin/false
SyncUnixHomeDirectory REG_DWORD 0 or 1
Whenever the home directory of an Advanced Server user account changes, this key changes the home directory of the associated UNIX system user account to match the Advanced Server home directory.
Default: 0 (do not synchronize home directories)
UserComment REG_SZ Character string
The comment to assign to all automatically-created UNIX system user accounts.
Default: Advanced Server for UNIX user
UserRemark REG_SZ 0 to 48 characters
The comment string associated with the USERS shared directory.
Default: Users Directory

CountNotOnNetworkCache REG_DWORD 0 - infinity
Specifies the number of non-running cached clients to which the Alerter service should not send messages. When the Alerter service tries to send a popup message to a client, NetBIOS name resolution can cause unwanted delays if the client is not on the network. To circumvent this problem, the Alerter service caches the names of clients that are not running and does not send alerts to these clients.
Default: 10
You can change the value of this key using the AS/U Administrator.
IncludeMessageHeader REG_DWORD 0 or 1
Specifies whether the Alerter service should add four lines of header information to messages (sender, recipient, subject, and date).
Default: 0 (do not include headers)
You can change the value of this key using the AS/U Administrator.
NotOnNetworkCacheTimeout REG_DWORD 0 - infinity

The Registry path that contains entries for the Advanced Server Directory Replicator service is as follows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
\Replicator\Parameters
ExportList REG_SZ Character string
Lists an unlimited number of servers or domains that receive notices when the export directory is updated. These servers subsequently replicate from the export server. If no value is specified, the export server sends a notice to its domain. Separate multiple names with a semicolon (;). This value is ignored if the value of the Replicate key is 2 (Import).
Do not use the UNC name when you specify a computername; that is, do not include two backslashes (\\) at the beginning of the name.
Default: (local domain name)
ExportPath REG_SZ or REG_EXPAND_SZ Pathname
Specifies the export path. All files to be replicated must be in a subdirectory of the export directory. This value is ignored if the value of the Replicate key is set to 2 (Import).
Default: C:\var\opt\lanman\shares\asu\repl\export
GuardTime REG_DWORD 0 to one-half of Interval
Sets the number of minutes an export directory must be stable (no changes to any files) before import servers can replicate its files.
This option applies only to directories with tree integrity.
Default: 2
ImportList REG_SZ Character string
Lists an unlimited number of servers or domains from which files and directories are to be replicated. If no value is specified, files and directories will be replicated from the server's domain. Separate multiple names with a semicolon (;). This value is ignored if the value of the Replicate key is 1 (Export).
Do not use the UNC name when you specify a computer name; that is, do not include two backslashes (\\) at the beginning of the name.
ImportPath REG_SZ or REG_EXPAND_SZ Pathname
Specifies the path on the import server to receive replicas from the export servers. This value is ignored if the value of the Replicate key is 1 (Export).
Default: C:\var\opt\lanman\shares\asu\repl\import
Specifies how often in minutes an export server checks the replicated directories for changes. Used in conjunction with the Pulse key. Ignored on import servers.
Default: 5
MaxFilesInDirectory REG_DWORD 0 to infinity
Specifies the maximum number of files in an import directory that can be replicated.
Default: 2000
Specifies in minutes how often the export server repeats sending the last update notice. These repeat notices are sent even when no changes have occurred, so that import servers that missed the original update notice can receive the notice. The server waits the equivalent of (Pulse * Interval) minutes before sending each repeat notice.
Default: 3
Specifies the maximum time in seconds that the import servers can wait before requesting an update. An import server uses the export server's value of Random to generate a random number of seconds (from 0 to the value of Random). The import server waits this long after receiving an update notice before requesting the replica from the export server. This prevents the export server from being overloaded by simultaneous update requests.
Default: 60
Replicate REG_DWORD 1, 2, or 3
Specifies the Replicator action, according to the following:
1 = Export — the server maintains a master tree to be replicated.
2 = Import — the server receives update notices from the export server.

You can change the value of this key using the AS/U Administrator.
PowerMessageInterval REG_DWORD 0 - infinity
Specifies the interval in minutes at which the server repeats the message sent when it receives a SIGPWR signal. A value of 0 would indicate to send the message one time only.
Default: 1
You can change the value of this key using the AS/U Administrator.
