Creating a registry key retrieval task

You can get a registry key from selected Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Windows hosts. To do so, you must create a registry key retrieval task.

To create a registry key retrieval task:

1. Select the Tasks section in the program web interface window.

   This opens the task table.

2. Click Add and select Get registry key.

   This opens the task creation window.

3. Configure the following settings:
   1. Registry key path is the registry key that you want to get.

      You can enter the registry key in one of the following formats:

      • Relative to the root key.

        For example, \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\Orchestrator.

      • Relative with full name of the root key.

        For example, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\Orchestrator.

      • Relative with an abbreviation instead of the full name of the root key.

        For example, HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\Orchestrator.

      If you want to get data from HKEY_CURRENT_USER, you must specify HKEY_USERS and the SID of the user: HKEY_USERS\<SID of the user>.

   2. Description is the task description. This field is optional.
   3. In the Hosts field, enter the name or IP address of the host to which you want to assign the task.

      You can specify multiple hosts.

      The registry key retrieval task can only be assigned to hosts with the Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Windows program version 3.13 or later.

4. Click Add.

The registry key retrieval task is created. The task runs automatically after it is created.

As a result of the task, the program places a ZIP archive in Storage; the archive contains a .reg file, which contains a list of all registry keys and values under the key that was specified when creating the task. You can download the archive to your local computer.

If the task results in an error, the archive file contains the description of the error.

Users with the Security auditor role cannot create this task.

Users with the Security officer role do not have access to tasks.
