The SOFTWARE\NetIQ\AppManager\4.0\NetIQms (for 32-bit computers) and SOFTWARE\SysWow6432\NetIQ\AppManager\4.0\NetIQms (for 64-bit computers) folders store keys that define characteristics of the NetIQ Corporation AppManager Management Service. These keys are the registry keys that you are most likely to be interested in or need to modify. They control many important characteristics of a management server’s behavior and communication with other components. Several keys are directly under the NetIQms folder. Additional keys are organized in the following subfolders:
NOTE:The Integration folder contains keys used by AppManager connectors.
The NetIQms folder contains general-purpose keys for the NetIQ Corporation AppManager Management Service.
