Losing Registered Servers
-
I am connecting to 3 SQL 2000 servers via enterprise manager running on a win 2k pc with novell network. Every morning I have to re-register the servers as they are lost from enterprise manager every time I log off the pc. Short of never logging off - is there anyone who has over come this problem before?
Thanks in advance

Haven't seen that. But I'm wondering, is this a shared workstation of some sort? The registrations should be stored in the registry.

go to EM-->tools-->Options and Make sure you have
Server Register information set up as Read/Store locally and if more than one user is using your wks then uncheck the Read/Store locally user independent box

I've checked and and it is setup to use Read/store locally. The servers are on a NT domain which I can see but I'm not part of - would this contribute to the problem ?

Should also of added I'm not the only one to have this problem, my colleague has the same problem. The PC's aren't shared (if I understand your meaning correctly), we both log on to the pc with our own IDs and passwords

Acctually the problem is mostlikely with the Novell desktop settings. I had this issue occur when the script didn't maintain the changes. Icons and setting changes to the *.msc file, I also occassionally notice issues related to desktop settings. Make certain you save your changes in the mmc consol and save any desktop settings (like the MMC snaping If it is on your desktop) to a secure location. In the event these settings are lost you could restore these back. Sounds hanky and hackish but it worked for me!

Thanks for all you comments - it was finally resolved by changing my profile from being a roaming one to one on the local pc. - well at least that change solved the problem.

We're also on a mixed Netware/Microsoft network and using local profiles will fix the problem but it can come back when they push out Netware client updates. Depending on how these are pushed out, they seem to reset a lot of my local settings periodically and I have to re-register my servers.
