Registry Discovery: Include scopes

You can specifically add domains, OUs, containers, computers, hives and keys. For full information on using the browser to add scopes, see Using the Browser to Include and Exclude Scopes .

You can create scopes using a dynamic query, which is resolved when the discovery is run. This gives you the flexibility to describe the computers you want to target. For more information, see Using Queries to Define Your Scopes .
