A Registry Variable Does Not Have a Value

Valid on Windows

Symptom:

I defined a CA ControlMinder registry variable to point to a location on an endpoint. When I try to use this variable in a rule in a policy, CA ControlMinder does not enforce the rule because the registry variable does not have a value.

Solution:

Registry variables (REGVAL type variables) must point to REG_SZ or REG_EXPAND_SZ registry types. Verify that the registry value specified in the registry variable is REG_SZ or REG_EXPAND_SZ type.
