Theresa is the chief information security officer for her company, a large shipping company based out of New York City. In the past, Theresa and her IT employees manually checked the status of client computers on the network to see if they had the most recent Microsoft updates. Now that the company has added over 100 more clients to accommodate new departments, Theresa must find some kind of tool to see whether the clients are up-to-date or not. Theresa decides to use Qfecheck to monitor all client computers. When Theresa runs the tool, she is repeatedly told that the software does not have the proper permissions to scan. Theresa is worried that the operating system hardening that she performs on all clients is keeping the software from scanning the necessary registry keys on the client computers.
What registry key permission should Theresa check to ensure that Qfecheck runs properly?
