Action

Enumerate the subkeys under a registry hive & key.

Parameters

Hive (string): The registry hive which has to match one of the following long or short names, ignoring case:

Return values

If Hive does not exist then the result is InvalidParameter and this string:

If Subkey has invalid structure then the result is ExecutionError and this string:

If SubKey exists but cannot be opened by the agent (for any reason) then it is treated as though it does not exist.

If Subkey does not exist then the result is SuccessNoContent.

Otherwise the results issued will have these columns for each subkey found:

- Name (string): The full path of the a (sub)key found below the Subkey parameter supplied
- DefaultValue (string): The string value assigned to the (sub)key if set (the value named "(Default)" in RegEdit), or "(value not set)" if not (like RegEdit).

Notes

The supplied key will appear in the results if it exists, regardless of whether or not it has child keys.

There is a limit of 8192 subkeys being returned (plus the key itself, if it exists). This is currently not changeable.
