CAUSE
This issue occurs when the management group name that is referenced in the registry does not match the management group name that is used to restore the OnePoint database.
RESOLUTION
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.
To resolve this issue, you must determine the correct name of the management group in the OnePoint database, and then change the management group name that is referenced in the registry. To do this, follow these steps:
1. | Click Start, point to Programs, click Microsoft SQL Server, and then click Query Analyzer. |
2. | In Query Analyzer, click the database list, and then click the OnePoint database. |
3. | Copy and then paste the following query in the Query Analyzer pane, and then click Run.
|
4. | Note the value that is returned by the query. |
5. | Start Registry Editor. |
6. | Right-click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mission Critical Software\OnePoint\Configurations\ConfigName Note ConfigName is the name of the management group. |
7. | Click Rename. |
8. | Change the name of the management group so that it matches the management group name that was returned by the query that you ran in step 3. |
Note The management group name is case sensitive. The name in the database must exactly match the name in the registry.
