SnaBase does not copy the registry values in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry subtree when you run an automated sponsor script on a Host Integration Server 2000 End-User Client computer

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

When you run an automated sponsor script to change the sponsor server list on a Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000 End-User Client computer, SnaBase does not copy the registry values in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry subtree to the corresponding keys in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry subtree. Therefore, when a new user on the client computer tries to connect to Host Integration Server 2000, the connection is unsuccessful.

The Sponsors registry entry (REG_SZ) is located in the following subkeys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SNABase\Parameters
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SNABase\Parameters
Note This problem occurs after you install Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) on a computer that is running Host Integration Server 2000 End-User Client.

Resolution

To resolve this problem, run the SNA Resource Location Wizard in Administrative mode. To do this, type the following command at a command prompt:
HICLICFG /a
After you run the SNA Resource Location Wizard, the registry values are correctly copied from the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry subtree when a new user logs on to the computer.

More information

When you run the SNA Resource Location Wizard in Administrative mode, the following registry entry is updated based on a timestamp:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SNA Server\CurrentVersion\FinalXID
The FinalXID value is a 64-bit value. If this registry entry is not correctly updated, the registry values from the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry subtree will not be copied to the corresponding keys in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry subtree.
