Re: Advertisement Failing

Hi,

I can access the registry Key, but there are not entries within
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\NAL\Server neither in
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\NAL\Server\connection

I am using SMS 2003, should there be any entries in there. if so how should
I populate it.

Thanks for all your help.
