Registry Extension

Group Policy includes the Registry preference extension. For computers or users, this extension allows you to:

• Copy multiple registry settings from a computer and apply those settings to other computers.
  
• Create, replace, or delete an individual registry value.
  
• Create an empty key, delete a key, or delete all values and subkeys in a key.
  
• Create collections (folders) to organize Registry preference items in the Group Policy Management Console, and so you can apply the same targeting to multiple Registry items.
  
• Create collections in the Group Policy Management Console that mirror the structure of keys in the registry on a selected computer.
  

Getting started

You can create and configure Registry preference items for any domain-based Group Policy object (GPO). You configure the settings by editing a GPO using the Group Policy Management Console. When editing a GPO, you can find this preference extension at the following location:
Computer Configuration or User Configuration
   └ Preferences
      └ Windows Settings
         └ Registry
