IIS reference to Windows registry

Hi,
I have a need to monitor compliance of our IIS configuration accross estate. Obviously I need to monitor that remotelly, so logging to the server and checking configuration via IIS Admins console is out of question.
So I was wondering if there is a way to check IIS configuration via Windows registry?
To be exact I need to check below settings for example. Can I find them in registry somewhere?
IIS 6.0
Use Hostname in Redirects (UseHostName)
Web Service Extension Restriction List (WebSvcExtRestrictionList)
IIS 7.0
Remove or Rename Well-Known URLs
Ensure Configuration Attribute notListedIsapisAllowed set to false
Ensure Configuration Attribute notListedCgisAllowed set to false
Thanks!

Hi Dalius R,
Please refer to following KB and check if help you to find registry keys that are used by Internet Information
Services (IIS).
Description of the registry keys that are used by IIS 7.0,
IIS 7.5, and IIS 8.0
In addition, I suggest that you would post your question in
IIS Forum. I believe we will get a better assistance there.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Where can I find the reference for modifying registry key for acrobat reader

I am a Web Developer and I need to limit the option the user may choose in acrobat reader plugin.
I doubt if there is option to configure in Windows Registry on HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\PrefsDialog.
Anyone know where I can find the reference for those registry key?
I have downloaded sdk91_v2_win.zip file but I cannot find any reference.

Access Windows Registry for Silent PDF Printing

Hi All,
I am trying to print a form (created in Livecycle Designer ES2) silently to PDF upon the click of (javascript) button on the form. I have Win XP and Acrobat 9 Pro. I feel close to achieving the goal however after some time and effort I am not sure the approach I am leaning toward is possible. So far I have the following:
1. By following the Acrobat SDK / JS for Acrobat API reference I have been able to use the PrintParams object to set print properties including the page(s) to print and printer selection, however the code only works if, for the fileName property, I specify file type as postscript (.ps), when .pdf is used it does not work. JS used on click_event of my form button:
var myDoc = event.target;
var pp = myDoc.getPrintParams();
pp.interactive = pp.constants.handling.none;
pp.fileName = "/C/Test.ps";
pp.printerName = "Adobe PDF";
pp.firstPage = 2;
myDoc.print(pp);
This works however I really want the filename to be something like "/C/Test.pdf" which does not work
2. I have since learned that the windows registry...Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl can be manually modified so Adobe knows where to send the output file:
Registry folder: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl
I created new string under above folder with properties below:
     String value name: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acorbat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe
     String value data: C:\Test.pdf
The approach in 2. works in combination with the code in 1. (without the pp.filename property being specified) but the registry string would need to be manually created each time before printing which is not practical.
Is anyone able to advise whether or not it is possible to create a new registry string using Javascript (looks like there are quite a few VBA examples of this for use with MSAccess) from acrobat? or maybe another way to print to a specified file to PDF using JS from Acrobat?
Any help or advice is much appreciated,
Kind regards,
Adam

So many security issues for the general public.
You path name is not considered a "Safe Path", as it is a root directory and since many systems have system control files in the root directory, Adobe has blocked the access to this directory for security reasons.
"Silent Printing" is possible to printer over the Internet and is considered a security risk, but you can write a special application level JavaScript function that could provide this on a single system.
"Save as .." is also considered a security risk and blocked except when a special application user written function is used.
See the Acrobat JavaScript API Reference for more information about safe paths and silent printing and saving along with other restricted actions.

Anyone know of a Java package to access the Windows registry, ntfs acl, etc

I know Java is OS neutral but I was wondering if anyone has developed an open source or free group of java classes (probably C++ wrappers) to give you the ability to easily interface with Windows? I'm looking for ways to work with Windows users and groups, NTFS permissions, the Windows registry, the Windows API, etc. I saw a decent registry wrapper awhile back but I'm not sure about the rest!

Just write your own wrappers, or simply reference native win32 API.

Automatic discovery not working if empty WebSphere Application Server folders in Windows registry

We were trying to discover WebSphere 8.5.5 servers in our environment but the JEE MP couldn't find them. The discovery wrote this kind of error to the Windows Log:
The process started at 8:56:25 AM failed to create System.Discovery.Data. Errors found in output:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Monitoring Agent\Agent\Health Service State\Monitoring Host Temporary Files 9\73626\Microsoft.JEE.WebSphere.Install.Discover.vbs(196, 1) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Object not a collection

I investigated the discovery vbs script and Windows registry and found out that one of the users had empty WebSphere Application Server folder under Software/IBM in Windows registry. This was probably left after uninstallation of WAS. After I removed the
empty registry entry then the auto-discovery found WAS instances.
Would it be possible to enhance the discovery vbs script to exclude empty USER/Software/IBM/WebSphere Application Server key folder in the next version?

I have contacted IIS forum support.
Please review the link: http://forums.iis.net/p/1213109/2079229.aspx?Re+Windows+Server+2012+Printing+using+UNC+path+not+working
Their final response:
Printing from ASP.NET using System.Drawing.Printing itself is a horrible approach, as this namespace was designed for Windows Forms only. The designers did not take everything about ASP.NET in mind, so any issue can happen. That can answer why the HP model
works while the Samsung fails, as the HP one just "happens
to work",
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.printing.printdocument.aspx
Similarly, System.Printing was designed just for WPF.
About which printing API to use in ASP.NET/IIS, there is no clear answer so far. Thus, your only resource is Microsoft support, who can perform further analysis (with their dedicate utilities and of course Windows source code) and might come across a solution
to help you out. This is not a trivial scenario.

Java API to read the Encrypted Values from Windows Registry settings

Is there any Java API to read the Encrypted Values from Windows Registry settings ?
My Java Application invokes a 3rd party Tool that writes the key/value to windows registry settings under : “HKLM\Software\<3rdparty>\dataValue”.
This entry is in BINARY and encrypted with 3DES, using crypto API from Microsoft.
3rd party software to encrypt the data stored in registry it
either uses C++ code: and uses the call “CryptProtectData” and “CryptUnProtectData” or
If it is a .NET (C#) it uses the call “Protect” or “UnProtect” from class “ProtectData” of WinCrypt.h from the library “Crypt32.lib.
Note: The data is encrypted using auto-generated machinekey and there is no public key shared to decrypt the Encrypted data.
Since the data is encrypted using auto-generated machinekey the same can be decrypted from a .Net / C++ application using CryptUnprotectData or UnProtect() API of WinCrypt.h from the library “Crypt32.lib.
To know more about Auto-Generated MachineKey in Windows refer the links below
http://aspnetresources.com/tools/machineKey
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms998288.aspx
I need to find a way in Java to find the equivalent API to decrypt (CryptUnprotectData) and Microsoft will automatically use the correct key.
But i couldn't find any informato related to Java APIs to enrypt or decrypt data using auto-generated machinekey.
Is there a way to read the encrypted data from Windows regsitry settings that is encrypted using the Auto-Generated Machine Key ?
Kindly let me know if Java provides any such API or mechanism for this.

If the symmetric key is "auto-generated" and is not being stored anywhere on the machine, it implies that the key is being regenerated based on known values on the machine. This is the same principle in generating 3DES keys using PBE (password-based-encryption). I would review the documentation on the C# side, figure out the algorithm or "seed" values being used by the algorithm, and then attempt to use the JCE to derive the 3DES key using PBE; you will need to provide the known values as parameters to the PBE key-generation function in JCE. Once derived, it can be used to decrypt the ciphertext from the Regiistry in exactly the same way as the CAPI/CNG framework.
An alternate way for Java to use this key, is to write a JNI library that will call the native Windows code to do the decryption; then the Java program does not need to know details about the key.
That said, there is a risk that if your code can derive the key based on known seeds, then so can an attacker. I don't know what your applicatiion is doing, but if this is anything related to compliance for some data-security regulation like PCI-DSS, then you will fail the audit (for being unable to prove you have adequate controls on the symmetric key) if a knowledgable QSA probes this design.

Where ODBC Connector is defined in Windows registry?

Good day!
I have an app which use ODBC Connector, and it don't works as well. When I trying to access ODBC programmatically, I get an error from ODBC Driver Manager, smth like: " Data source not found and no driver specified, the default "
(my OS language is different, so it's not verbatim).
I changed MySQL ODBC Connector many times, I tried different versions and tried specify driver in registry manualy (in branch HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI). Also, I had tried to track how does it work step by step, and I stop at odbc32.dll. As I think it is ODBC Driver Manager which can't find smth necessary, but what?

This is more of a Windows Registry issue than a LabVIEW issue, does anyone know a good place to get support for that. My Google-Fu is failing me . All attempts to search for anything relating to Windows Registry and Icons tends to lead to changing the default icons in Windwos (My Computer, Recycle Bin, etc.).
Unless there is a way for me to add the .ICO as a resource within the .exe that defaults to the file somehow. I'm not seeing anything within LabVIEW to facilitate this, however...

Print directly to the printer option in the Windows registry

I need to find the location for the option to "Print directly to the printer" in the Windows registry. I am trying to create a GPO to enable this option at login and I can't find the location for it. Is this possible to do? If not, is there another way to enable this at startup for all users? We are running Adobe Acrobat X on Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit.
Thanks

I guess that those of use responding don't know enough about the process you are trying to implement to be of help. Printing to network drives has been an issue for folks for a long time and a lot seems to depend on the network. That is probably of zero help and all I can suggest is just to hang on for someone who hopefully has an idea. If we can get a better handle on what you are trying to do, we might be able to make suggestions. However, I think our answers are not going to be there for the registry issue.

Creating a new key in Windows Registry

Hello all,
Have been trying to use JNIRegistry for creation of a new key in Windows' Registry, and it doesn't work.
Would appreciate if anyone has an example of how to do it.
thank you,
Rami A.

I presume your refering to:
http://www.trustice.com/java/jnireg/
Obviously JNIRegistry is not a standard part of Java as its OS specific.
Why are you attempting to create a key in the registry with java?
I would recommend you have a look at java.util.prefs.Preferences which
uses the registry under Windows OS but also handles other os's in a way
that is native to that os.
If you have a burning need to use JNIReg, then can you please post the
code that you used? A quick look at the docs for it tells me that you
need to create a RegistryKey object for the place where you wish to
create the key and then use createSubKey().
Also the documentation mentions that the Key Class is a mirror of how
the "Windows Registry API" works, and then says to have a gander at the
"Windows Registry API" if you have any questions. I would suggest
having a gander at www.msdn.com. Also try this link:

Acrobat 8: JobOptionsFolder / PDF Admin Settings in Windows registry

Hello,
Systems are Windows XPSP2, Acrobat Professional 8.1.2
We would like to share *.joboption files via a readonly server share (W2K3 Server).
In the windows registry we find two values with the default path to the *.joboptions files:
1. HKLM\Software\Adobe\PDF Admin Settings\, Default (Reg_SZ)
2. HKLM\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\8.0\ , JobOptionFolder (Reg_SZ)
both registry values point to "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings\"
When we change these values to "\\server\share\", which is write protected by security settings, and copy the installed *.joboption files to this location, all seems to work fine.
The users joboptions directory found here:
HKCU\Software\Adobe\PDF Settings\, Default (Reg_SZ)
pointing to C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings\
we would like to leave as is.
Will we run in troubles, if we share *.joboptions files as described? Problems known with readonly joboptions on a server share?
Thanks & Regards,
Roland

Add keys to the Windows registry database regarding Java Script/JRE

Hi everyone,
In another thread in this forum, I have writen about how I completely could remove JRE from my system.
In the thread I told that I have found the following registry keys on my Windows 7 64-bit operating system:
1. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\JavaScript
2. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\JavaScript Author
3. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\JavaScript1.2 Author
4. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\JavaScript1.3
5. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\JavaScript1.3 Author
6. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\PROTOCOLS\Handler\javascript
7. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PROTOCOLS\Handler\javascript
8. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\JavaPlugin.1010
9. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\JavaScript
10. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\JavaScript Author
11. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\JavaScript1.2 Author
12. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\JavaScript1.3
13. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\JavaScript1.3 Author.
When I take a look on my Windows XP Service Pack 3 operating system, I can not find the same keys in the Windows registry database, and I therefore will ask about the following questions:
1. It is correct that the keys above only is on Windows 7 64-bit's registry?
If the keys also should be on Windows XP Service Pack 3, how can I install the keys again?
I have tried to reinstall Internet Explorer 8, but the keys not came back again.
2. After I have reinstalled Internet Explorer 8 I can find a option called "Use JRE 1.6.0_12 for <applet> (requires restart)" if I go to Internet options>advanced. I have not installed a JRE on my Windows XP, since I will make a installation of the latest JRE from scratch.
2. It is posible to remove the option above (e.g. via the Windows Registry editor), so the latest JRE can add the option again to Internet Explorer 8?
Very thanks for the answers, and happy new year.
Regards,
Anders

Javascript has nothing to do with the Java and the JRE and though I can't be certain I doubt very much if those registry entries have anything to do with the JRE.
