creating a subscription to registry creation on a windows machine

[Raghu Ram Baisani]

Hi All

Is it possible to create a subscription to registry creation so that once registry entry is created then we can restart the box/machine? For creating the registry entry I'm using create_resources function.

Thanks

Hi Raghuram,

yes this is achieved with the subscribe meta parameter. For example:

registry_value { 'disable_defender':

    ensure => present,

    type   => dword,

    path   => 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\DisableAntiSpyware',

    value  => 1

}

reboot { 'regkey_reboot':

   subscribe => Registry_value['disable_defender']

}

Kind regards,
