RESOLUTION

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.

NOTE: To update your ERD (including security and account information), click Start, click Run, type rdisk /s, press ENTER, and then follow the instructions on the screen to finish creating the disk.

To resolve this problem, add the appropriate class-ID to the Client Applications value in the SBSClients registry key by using Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe):

1. Use Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) to view the following key in the registry, and then click it:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\BackOffice\SBSClients

2. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following values:
   
   Value name : Client Applications
   Data type: REG_SZ
   String value: {F7A6A827-AADD-11D1-AE92-0000F875A98A}
3. Click OK, and then quit Registry Editor.

To perform these changes without using Registry Editor, create a file named Clientapps.reg you can run on your server:

1. Start Notepad. To do so, click Start, click Run, type notepad clientapps.reg, and then press ENTER.
2. Copy the following text into the Notepad document:
   
   REGEDIT4
   
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\BackOffice\SBSClients]
   "Client Applications"="{F7A6A827-AADD-11D1-AE92-0000F875A98A}"
3. Save the file as "clientapps.reg" (including the quotation marks).
4. This file can then be sent as an e-mail attachment. To use it, save the attachment as c:\temp\clientapps.reg on the appropriate computer, and then double-click the file to insert the value in the registry.
