Alphabetic NomadBranch registry values
The following table shows the supported NomadBranch registry value and any associated installer properties. Installer properties must be upper-case and those that use numeric values must be set using decimal integers on the command-line.
Registry value | Description |
|---|---|
Platform\PlatformURL | The URL of the Tachyon Platform, specifically the Tachyon Background Channel, which provides a reverse proxy for the Content Distribution component of Tachyon Platform. Usually of the form |
Platform\ContentRegistration | Determines if content in Nomad's cache (packages, applications, software updates, boot images, etc.) is registered with Content Distribution. Content registration is necessary if a host is to be available as a Single Site Download (SSD) provider or can be woken up if a Nomad peer requires the content locally. |
Platform\ContentProviderOnWifi | Determines whether a device on a WLAN can become content provider. By default, only devices connected to a LAN can become content providers when using Single Site Download (SSD). NoteThis setting is only applicable to SSD and has no effect on P2P content transfers on the local subnet. |
WarningAssumedLinkSpeed is obsolete. Its value may exist in the Nomad registry but it is not used. Instead Nomad now relies on the actual content being downloaded to gauge link speed. | |

Defines one or more certificate issuers that Nomad will use to select the appropriate PKI certificate for the:
In most cases Nomad will be able to identify a suitable certificate in the Local Computer Personal certificate store without needing to specify CertIssuer (refer to Peer copy over HTTP or HTTPS: Certificate Selection for more details). You should use CertIssuer if the CM client is not using PKI certificates and there are multiple Client Authentication certificates issued by different Certificate Authorities in the store, and if there is a chance some of those certificates may not be trusted by other peers or CM site systems. | |
Defines one or more certificate subject names that Nomad uses to select the appropriate PKI certificate for authentication with Configuration Manager (CM) site systems configured to use HTTPS. It does not affect certificate selection for client authentication certificates used for peer-to-peer authentication or for selection of server authentication certificates. In most cases Nomad will be able to identify a suitable certificate in the Local Computer Personal certificate store without the need to specify CertSubject (refer to Peer copy over HTTP or HTTPS: Certificate Selection for more details). | |
Determines different compatibility settings which relate to specific customer related functionality and should not generally be changed from the default value under normal conditions, unless advised. | |
WarningContentRegSyncCycleHrs is obsolete. Its value may exist in the Nomad registry, but it is not used. Instead, please refer to CacheStateSyncIntervalMinutes. | |
WarningContentRegSyncReqDelay is obsolete. Its value may exist in the Nomad registry, but it is not used. Instead, please refer to CacheStateSyncIntervalMinutes. | |
WarningContentRegSyncBatchSz is obsolete. Its value may exist in the Nomad registry, but it is not used. Instead, please refer to CacheStateSyncIntervalMinutes. | |

Determines which error codes will cause Nomad to retry a download using an alternative distribution point. | |
Delete all obsolete LSZ files on the DP where the associated content is no longer present in ContentLib. | |
Determines whether a device on a WLAN can become content provider. By default, only devices connected to a LAN can become content providers when using Single Site Download (SSD). NoteThis setting is only applicable to SSD and has no effect on P2P content transfers on the local subnet. | |

When the Nomad cache cleaner runs, delete any application or package content that last triggered Nomad elections before the specified number of days ago. | |
This is the maximum number of days content is present on a client. | |
Provided for backward compatibility only – use PercentAvailableDisk instead. The value (in bytes) for the maximum size the cache is allowed to grow to, before automatic cache cleaning takes place. | |
The maximum number of devices with the content that Nomad can retrieve from Content Distribution in one call. | |
Defines the number of election responses Nomad will write to the log for a given election. | |
The maximum size (in bytes) of the Nomad log file. Default is 5MB. | |
The maximum size (in bytes) of a package that Nomad attempts to cache on a Fast LAN (>500 kbps) connection. | |
The maximum size (in bytes) of a package that Nomad will attempt to cache on a RAS (<55 kbps) connection. | |
Maximum size (in bytes) of a package that Nomad attempts to cache on a Slow LAN (55-500 kbps) connection. | |
The maximum rate at which multicast packets are sent. | |
When the Nomad cache cleaner runs, delete any pre-cached content that last triggered Nomad elections before the specified number of days ago. | |
he minimum interval (in seconds) between sending transfer progress status messages, thereby governing the overall maximum frequency for sending the messages. | |
Registry value to hold an integer determining the number of times Nomad attempts to copy content and gets stuck before aborting. | |
When the Nomad cache cleaner runs, delete any software updates that last triggered Nomad elections before the specified number of days ago. | |
MaxWorkRates is a registry key, that must be created, to hold registry values for each day of the week (Day0 to Day6) where the hourly maximums for the variable work rates are set. | |
The MADCAP scope for multicast. | |
The behavior of local multicast. | |
NMDS\CachePath | This value holds the location of the base peer backup assistant (PBS) share where user data is copied to. |
NMDS\EnforceQuotas | Determines whether Windows Disk Quotas (if configured) are enforced on the PBA share defined in CachePath. |
NMDS\ExtraReplyDelayMs | Time by which PBA peer reply window should be extended to avoid network spikes. |
NMDS\HAACKTimeoutMins | The time-out period in minutes for the Peer Backup Assistant - High Availability (PBA-HA) task sequence action. If a machine running this action does not receive an acknowledgement message within this period from the PBA host performing the additional backups, the action will fail. |
NMDS\MaxAllocRequest | Sets the maximum amount of space in MB that can be requested by each PBA client. |

The duration (in hours) after which PBA share is deleted from the host. | |
Determines whether hard links are used between the Nomad cache and the Configuration Manager cache. | |
Prevents Nomad from calling an election when it is connected to a specified AD site, meaning that each Nomad client on the listed AD sites will automatically become a Nomad master. This prevents P2P sharing, as each master downloads its own copy of the content. | |
Prevents Nomad from calling an election when it is connected to a specified IP subnet, meaning that each Nomad client on the IP subnet automatically becomes a Nomad master. This prevents P2P sharing, as each master downloads its own copy of the content. | |

Defines server and client authentication options when using HTTPS for P2P content transfer (i.e. P2PEnabled 0x60 option is set). | |
The limit on the Nomad cache. Specified as a percentage of the available disk space, it controls the automatic cache cleaning to ensure that the cache does not grow to a size whereby the percentage of available disk space is less than this value. | |
WarningPercentDelayedContentReg is obsolete. Its value may exist in the Nomad registry, but it is not used. Instead, Content Registration Sync Cycle is now used, please refer to CacheStateSyncIntervalMinutes. | |
