Creating a VOB on a remote Windows® host

You must enable Windows registry modifications from remote hosts before you can create a VOB on a remote Windows® host

About this task

Example

To create a VOB on a remote Windows® host, HCL VersionVault must have access to information stored in the remote host’s Windows® registry. Remote access to the Windows® Registry can be restricted by setting security on this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServers\Winreg 

Because this key is not normally present on Windows® workstations, the underlying security on the individual keys controls access.

On Windows® server hosts, the key is set by default and might prevent workstations from reading the server’s registry. When this is the case, attempts to create VOBs on the server fail with the error Invalid argument. To correct this problem, either remove the key or modify the security on it.

The VersionVault Doctor program warns you if this registry key will prevent creation of VOBs on a remote host and offers to modify it.
