Content Distribution registry values
Multi-tenant SaaS platform | Single-tenant SaaS platform

The product formerly referred to as Nomad has been rebranded as Content Distribution. Although the new name is implemented in the majority of documentation and user interfaces, references to Nomad may still appear in specific tools, scripts, or contexts.
The two Content Distribution components that have registry values are NomadBranch and NomadBranchAdminUIExt, grouped below under feature headings.
NomadBranch registry values
The NomadBranch registry values can be changed to alter some of the default installation values for Content Distribution. Before you make any registry updates, ensure you make a backup of the registry. The following headings show the Content Distribution registry entries related to a particular functional area.
Clicking on a registry value's link will take you to its definition page, which has more details including its Windows installer property.
Registry values for NomadBranch are located in HKLM\Software\1E\NomadBranch
