The second tool is SCRegEdit and it??™s new for Windows 2008. This tool provides only a command
line interface that lets you modify registry entries as needed without opening a registry editor.
You??™ve already seen a use for this tool in the ???Configuring the Server for Initial Use??? section of
Chapter 1. It appears again in the ???Performing Server Updates??? section of Chapter 3. The following
sections describe both tools.
Working with the RegEdit Utility GUI
You??™ll commonly use the Registry Editor (
RegEdit.EXE
) utility in GUI mode. To start this utility in
GUI mode, simply type
RegEdit
and press Enter. You??™ll see an initial display like the one shown
in Figure 4.1. The left pane shows hives and keys, while the right pane shows values associated
with the hives and keys that you select in the left pane. Anyone who??™s worked with the registry
already knows about hives, keys, and values.

The /CLI command
line switch is useful
because it provides information
on performing
common
tasks.
NOTE
A
hive
is a major data storage unit??”think of it as an equivalent of a table within a database
because the purpose is the same.
