DSRegCmd Troubleshooting Workspace

The DSRegCmd workspace helps you triage Microsoft Entra join, hybrid join, PRT, MDM, and Windows Hello for Business issues without manually reading raw dsregcmd /status output.

For a detailed walkthrough with screenshots, see the DSRegCmd Troubleshooting Guide.

Opening the DSRegCmd Workspace

Switch to the DSRegCmd workspace from the workspace selector in the toolbar.

Input Methods

Live Capture

Runs dsregcmd /status on the local machine and collects the output along with supporting registry evidence. This gives the highest-confidence result.

Paste

Paste copied dsregcmd /status output from a remote machine, ticket, or chat. Use this when you only have text and no supporting evidence bundle.

Open Text File

Load a saved dsregcmd /status text capture. If the file is part of an evidence bundle, the workspace automatically discovers and loads sibling registry evidence.

Open Evidence Folder

Load a complete evidence bundle folder. The workspace accepts:

  • Bundle root
  • Bundle evidence folder
  • Bundle command-output folder

Reading the Results

Header Cards

The top cards give you the fastest read:

  • Join Type — what join posture the device has
  • Current Stage — where the problem sits (discovery, auth, join, post-join)
  • Capture Confidence — how trustworthy this data is
  • PRT State — Primary Refresh Token status
  • MDM Signals — enrollment and compliance indicators
  • NGC — Windows Hello for Business readiness
  • Certificate — certificate health

Health Summary

A short narrative covering source type, join posture, dominant failure stage, confidence notes, and the highest-priority issue.

Issues Overview

Ordered diagnostic findings with:

  • Severity and category
  • Summary of the problem
  • Evidence lines from the capture
  • Recommended checks
  • Suggested fixes

Facts by Group

The detailed proof layer organized into groups: Join State, Management and MDM, SSO and PRT, Diagnostics and Errors, Windows Hello and NGC, Policy Evidence, and more.

Export

  • Copy Status / Copy JSON / Copy Summary — to clipboard
  • Save JSON / Save Summary — to file
  • Show Raw Input — compare analyzer output to original text

Workflow

  1. Capture a fresh result if possible
  2. Check Current Stage and Capture Confidence first
  3. Read the first issue in Issues Overview
  4. Verify evidence in Facts by Group
  5. Check Policy Evidence only when Windows Hello fields are unclear
  6. Export for case handoff when needed
