Recovery procedure 9: Checking registry entries

Check that the Enterprise Vault registry entries are all set correctly on the newly-recovered servers.

The main registry entries are under the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
 \SOFTWARE
  \Wow6432Node
   \KVS
    \Enterprise Vault

Additionally, you may have set registry entries under HKEY_CURRENT_USER when logged in as the Vault Site account. If so, restore these entries on each server too, under the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
 \Software
  \Wow6432Node
   \KVS
    \Enterprise Vault
