HKLM_registry.data Health Check Script

HKLM_registry.data is a critical database file for both Check Point Gateways and Management servers.

In this post, I’m sharing a small, support-safe script that can be used to verify the integrity of this file.

Since HKLM_registry.data plays an important role in core system operations, proactively checking its health can help prevent unexpected issues.

Note: One-time before running the script

Expert mode: chmod +x hklm_registry_health_check.sh

Expert mode: dos2unix hklm_registry_health_check.sh
