On a computer that has Windows Internet Explorer 7 installed, you use the Start Remote Assistance feature in the Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 Administrator Console. Then, you start a Remote Assistance session with an SMS 2003 Client computer. When you end the Remote Assistance session, the following error message is logged in the Application event log:

Event ID 5102
Source: Remote Assistance
RA: A XML parsing error for (local user) UserName occurred when attempting to process a remote assistance ticket. For more information see Help and Support Center
