Client-side Extension Preferences

The values that the client-side extension puts in the registry are preferences as opposed to Group Policy settings. However, if you decide that the client-side extension should run across a slow link, regardless of the amount of data, you can enable these policies.

All MMC snap-ins register themselves in the following location in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MMC\SnapIns\{Snap-in-GUID}

Possible REG_SZ value names are as follows:

• About
• NameString
• NodeType
• Provider
• Version

In addition to the location mentioned earlier, Group Policy Client Side Extensions also register themselves in the following location in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GPExtensions\{CSE-GUID}

Possible REG_DWORD value names are as follows:
