Import Registry File

[DAVID COSTANTINO1709156772]

I am trying to import a registry file that i have export form my windows 2012r2 server. 

I can browse to the file but when i hit scan nothing happens no entries appear in the list to import. 

 

Anyone else see this behavior?

WEM only supports importing HKCU keys that are not REG_BINARY and which have unique names - this may be what's causing the .reg file to not scan.

Any binary values?

The setting are either string values or dwords

Bumped into this issue today.  Found this topic while searching for a solution.

What is not explained well is that the import will choke if you have multiple identical keys in the file you are working with.

For example:

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]

"TaskbarAnimations"=dword:0

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]

"IconsOnly"=dword:1

 

A file with a structure like that will fail the import with no error.
If you modify it like this, then it will import without issue.

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]

"TaskbarAnimations"=dword:0

"IconsOnly"=dword:1
