Storage Network Processing System with System Registry File Verification

A processing system of a dispersed storage and task (DST) execution unit comprises:

• at least one processor;
• a memory that stores operational instructions, that when executed by the at least one processor cause the processing system to:
• receive a plurality of system registry files via a network;
• generate a verification indicator based on an integrity check of the plurality of system registry files versus system registry integrity data corresponding to the plurality of system registry files;
• and
• store the system registry files in memory when the verification indicator indicates that verification was successful.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprises:

• at least one memory section that stores operational instructions that, when executed by a processing system of a storage network that includes a processor and a memory, causes the processing system to:
• generate a request for a plurality of system registry files;
• receive the plurality of system registry files via a network;
• generate integrity check data based on the plurality of system registry files and system registry integrity data corresponding to the plurality of system registry files, wherein the integrity check data includes a verification indicator;
• and
• store the system registry files in memory when the verification indicator indicates that verification was successful.
