Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry
In Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2005, after you remove and then reinstall the MOM Administrator console or the MOM Operator console, the console may not be able to connect to the MOM server.
This problem occurs because certain registry subkeys are not removed when you remove the MOM Administrator console or the MOM Operator console in MOM 2005. When you reinstall the MOM Administrator console or the MOM Operator console, the console may try to connect to the MOM server that is specified in these subkeys. Therefore, the connection may fail.
The following subkeys are not removed when you remove the MOM Administrator console or the MOM Operator console:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Operations Manager
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mission Critical Software
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1935655697-562591055-1417001333-1118\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Operations Manager
Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
To work around this problem, manually delete the subkeys that are listed in the "Cause" section before you reinstall the MOM 2005 Administrator console or the MOM 2005 Operator console. To do this, follow these steps:
- Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
- In Registry Editor, locate the following subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Operations Manager
- Right-click the subkey that you located in step 2, and then click Delete.
- Locate the following subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mission Critical Software
- Right-click the subkey that you located in step 4, and then click Delete.
- Locate the following subkey:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1935655697-562591055-1417001333-1118\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Operations Manager
- Right-click the subkey that you located in step 6, and then click Delete.
- Quit Registry Editor.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
