Chapter 9. Administering the Registry

When you're responsible for administering computers--whether one or many--you quickly find that much of what you do on a daily basis is miscellanea. You create new accounts, remove old ones, figure out why your backup tape drive is dead, and so forth. It would be nice if your whole career could revolve around orderly, planned upgrades, maintenance, and migrations, but those little tasks are important too. This chapter introduces you to several small tasks related to managing the Registry. While none of them is a full-time activity, all of them are worth doing.
