Documentation

Create a Registry Key if it does not exist. There are two different supported syntaxes to describe a Registry Key:

• with short drive name and ":" like HKLM:\SOFTWARE\myKey
• with long drive name and without ":" like HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE:\SOFTWARE\myKey

Please, note that Rudder can not create new drive and new "first-level" Registry Keys.

Examples

-name: Make sure the Rudder reg key is defined
 method: registry_entry_present
   key: "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Rudder"
