Overview

Manages registry values on Windows systems.

The registry_value type can manage registry values. See the type and data attributes for information about supported registry types, e.g. REG_SZ, and how the data should be specified.

Autorequires: Any parent registry key managed by Puppet will be autorequired.

Properties

• data (defaults to: '')

  The data stored in the registry value. Data should be specified as a string value but may be specified as a Puppet array when the type is set to array.

• ensure (defaults to: present)

  The basic property that the resource should be in.

  Supported values:

  • present
  • absent
• type (defaults to: string)

  The Windows data type of the registry value. Puppet provides helpful names for these types as follows:

  • string => REG_SZ

  • array => REG_MULTI_SZ

  • expand => REG_EXPAND_SZ

  • dword => REG_DWORD

  • qword => REG_QWORD

  • binary => REG_BINARY

  Supported values:

  • string
  • array
  • dword
  • qword
  • binary
  • expand

Parameters

• path

  The path to the registry value to manage. For example: 'HKLMSoftwareValue1', 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareVendorValue2'. If Puppet is running on a 64-bit system, the 32-bit registry key can be explicitly manage using a prefix. For example: '32:HKLMSoftwareValue3'
