If a full set of hives (particularly System and Software) are available for any particular Registry, its Recon Registries name will include the system name, Windows version, and install date. If a System hive is available, but a Software hive is not, the name will include the system name and Machine Security ID (“MSID”). If a Software hive is available, but a System hive is not, the name will include the Windows version and install date. If both System and Software hives are missing, the name will simply include an MSID.
