Replication Server Registry Keys

When you install Replication Server for Windows, the installation program and server configuration store configuration information to several branches, called keys, in the Windows Registry.

In some cases, you may be able to manually change the registry to configure Replication Server features. However, if you make incorrect changes, you can seriously impair your Windows system.

Warning! Do not modify key values in the registry unless you are an experienced Windows administrator, and you are familiar with the regedt32 utility. See your system Windows documentation for information about using regedt32.
