What are the advanced CSE troubleshooting registry debugging items?

Netwrix Endpoint Policy Manager (formerly PolicyPak) supports some special troubleshooting registry keys. Typically, you would only need to set this at the request of Endpoint Policy Manager Tech Support.

KeyHKLM\Software\Policies\PolicyPak\Config\Licensing
ValueNoTrial
TypeREG_DWORD
Data1 = disable trial (even if computer has "computer" in its name)
PurposeThis is useful for testing but not as useful for customers.
------
KeyHKLM\Software\Policies\PolicyPak\Config\ProcessFilter
ValueEnabled
TypeREG_DWORD
Data0 = disable process
PurposeStop the PolicyPak driver from loading.
------
KeyHKLM\Software\Policies\PolicyPak\Config\Minidumps
ValueDisable
TypeREG_DWORD
Data1 = disable creation of custom minidump files
PurposeStop automatic Minidump of Endpoint Policy Manager items even if Windows Minidumps are set.
------
KeyHKLM\Software\Policies\PolicyPak\Config\Minidumps
ValueDefaultType
TypeREG_DWORD
DataBitmask
PurposeThis value affects the content and size of minidumps. Don't adjust unless Endpoint Policy Manager Tech Support supplies a value.
------
KeyHKLM\Software\Policies\PolicyPak\Config\CSE
ValueEnableGPNotifications
TypeREG_DWORD
Data1 = enable GP notifications
PurposeThis settings requires Win8 or newer. When GP notifications are enabled, logging on again and/or rebooting are not required to apply a policy. But under some conditions, enabling notifications may cause deadlocks, which could lead to unexpected long login delay.
------
KeyHKLM\Software\Policies\PolicyPak\Config\CSE
ValueExtendedLogs
TypeREG_DWORD
Data1 = enable plaintext logs
PurposeThis is only a Endpoint Policy Manager Application Settings Manager setting. This enables creation of plaintext logs in addition to report-style/block-style logs.
------
KeyHKLM\Software\Policies\PolicyPak\Config\Logs
ValueDefaultVerbose
TypeREG_DWORD
Data0xFFFFFFFF = Enable output of all available message types to the log files.
PurposeFor performance reasons, it's not possible to enable TRACE output in release builds. Therefore, this value only works with DEBUG builds. Ask Endpoint Policy Manager Tech Support if you suspect you need a DEBUG build.
------
KeyHKLM\Software\Policies\PolicyPak\Config\CSE\ILT
ValueBypassAllILT
TypeREG_DWORD
Data1 = all ILT filters are ignored and implicitly evaluated to TRUE
PurposeUseful if directed by support to have all ILT evaluations succeed. Useful for troubleshooting and testing.
------
KeyHKLM\Software\Policies\PolicyPak\Config\CSE\ILT
ValueTimeout
TypeREG_DWORD
DataILT timeout in milliseconds.
PurposeIf ILT evaluation time exceeds the timeout, the previous evaluation result is used by the CSE. When the Timeout value is not set in the registry, it defaults to 500ms (0.5 seconds).
------
KeyHKLM\Software\Policies\PolicyPak\Config\CSE\ILT
ValueLifetime
TypeREG_DWORD
DataILT cache lifetime in milliseconds.
PurposeCSE doesn't re-evaluate ILT filter if it was evaluated less than Lifetime milliseconds ago. When Lifetime is not set in the registry, it defaults to 5000ms (5 seconds).
