    Hi Wasfi,

    I understood your point, but first, you have to store the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE from the user in a session variable using the Windows Registry utility and then can use it to compare with the desired HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

    You have more possibilities as make an Adquery to your AD Server and send the domain of the user in a custom variable and compare it with the desired value, allowing the system to determine a different flow based on the domain.

    In my personal experience, I discarded the Windows Registry utility because it doesn´t work in all cases, and only applies to windows devices.

Hi Sebastian;

Thank you for your response. The above link does not help me use an or operator. Basically, I want to write something like:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters"."Domain"="example.F5.com" OR "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters"."Domain"="abc.com"

So if the value of the registry is example.f5.com or abc.com, then the expression evaluates to "True".

Kindly

Wasfi
