IMSAdminBase::AddKey

The IMSAdminBase::AddKey method creates a key and adds it to the metabase as a subkey of the key at the specified path.

HRESULT AddKey(
  METADATA_HANDLE hMDHandle, //metabase handle 
  LPCWSTR pszMDPath          //path to the key, relative to hMDHandle
);

hMDHandle: Specifies a handle with write permissions as returned by the IMSAdminBase::OpenKey method. The value METADATA_MASTER_ROOT_HANDLE is not valid for this operation.
pszMDPath: Points to a string that contains the new key's path, relative to the path of hMDHandle. For example, if the handle references the /LM key, you could specify the Web services subkey using the path /W3SVC.
This parameter cannot be NULL.

Returns an HRESULT that contains one of the following values:

Value	Description
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED	Access is denied. Either the open handle does not have read or write permission as needed, or the user does not have sufficient permissions to perform the operation.
ERROR_DUP_NAME	A key of that name already exists in the metabase.
ERROR_INVALID_NAME	The specified name is invalid.
ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER	The parameter is incorrect.
ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY	Not enough storage is available to process this command.
ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND	The specified path is not found in the metabase.
ERROR_SUCCESS	The method succeeded.
