We are having difficulty with Client Configuration Updates on end user
workstations while migrating the users from SNA 4.0 servers to HIS 2000
Servers.

We are using SMS to push the updates the machines running the SNA 4.0 client
and a logon script to update the HIS client configurations.

The update program updates the sponsor server names in the registry key but
when we run the SNA Server Client Configuration on the desktop the list of
servers is in most cases entirely different.
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SnaBase\Parameters
The update then stops and restarts the SNABASE service on the workstation.
All changes are done as local system.

When we check the registry the entries are there assuming the SMS push
worked but the Client Configuration still lists the old server names in the
configuration. This is causing problems with the support team who is
accustomed to using this application to enter sponsor server information and
to check the configuration.

Where does the client configuration get the sponsor server names from? I
cannot find the entries anywhere else in the registry. We want to make sure
that we update not only the registry but also the client configuration.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We are updating
thousands of client machines through this process.

THANKS

Latifa,

For SNA 4 clients the sponsor server names are held under

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SnaBase\Parameters

For HIS200x in non-service mode it's

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SnaBase\Parameters

Try setting the "AcceptSponsorsListUpdate" entry to YES, as that will not only
update the list, but should fix whatever cached info the client config might be
looking at.

Latifa,

First of all, are you using the HIS 2000 End User Client, or the
Administrator Client. If it is the End User Client, are you running this
as an application or as a service? Also, what Operating System are you
installing/pushing these to?

As Neil noted, the registry entry that worked for SNA 4.0 is not going to
work for the HIS 2000 Clients.

You also might want to take a look at the following article for some
additioanl changes to the End User client Registry entries, and how they
get copied from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to HKEY_CURRENT_USER the first time that
user runs the HIS Client:

Now I'm @ work I've dug out the old automated SNA4 client install we used - which I
know worked!

We zapped it into the registry via regedit as per below

------

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SnaBase\Parameters]
"Sponsors"=hex(7):4c,51,52,43,00,4e,57,53,43,2e,53,32,37,00,4c,51,52,43,53,31,\

We are using both End User Clients (SNA 4 and HIS 2000). We are seeing the
problem with the SNA 4.0 clients which is running on a combination of
machines but for the most part NT workstation and some Windows XP machines. I
have seen the problem on the NT workstation machines. The technology
department did the workstation updates so I have not seen the code but I do
know it updates the registry keys. I have added a couple of temporary servers
to the HIS domain and have noticed that in many cases the registry key only
shows the original list of 6 servers in addition to the old information in
the client config. They are restarting the SNABASE service with a local
system account so it probably is not authenicating to the HIS servers to get
the additional server names. I will check out the article you mentioned. What
I am trying to figure out here is where the client config is getting the old
server names from. I know we will figure this out. I think it might be
related to a desktop security policy.

Thanks for all your help.

No we are not using the same registry entries for both versions. We have
successfully migrated over 1000 users but in many cases we are seeing the
difference between what is in the registry and what is displayed in the
client configuration.

I will open a case with PSS and post findings. I am trying to find out where
the client configuration reads the sponsor server list from.

We are using both End User Clients (SNA 4 and HIS 2000). We are seeing the
problem with the SNA 4.0 clients which is running on a combination of
machines but for the most part NT workstation and some Windows XP machines.
I
have seen the problem on the NT workstation machines. The technology
department did the workstation updates so I have not seen the code but I do
know it updates the registry keys. I have added a couple of temporary
servers
to the HIS domain and have noticed that in many cases the registry key only
shows the original list of 6 servers in addition to the old information in
the client config. They are restarting the SNABASE service with a local
system account so it probably is not authenicating to the HIS servers to
get
the additional server names. I will check out the article you mentioned.
What
I am trying to figure out here is where the client config is getting the
old
server names from. I know we will figure this out. I think it might be
related to a desktop security policy.

Thanks for all your help.

As Neil noted, the registry entry that worked for SNA 4.0 is not going to
work for the HIS 2000 Clients.

You also might want to take a look at the following article for some
additioanl changes to the End User client Registry entries, and how they
get copied from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to HKEY_CURRENT_USER the first time
that
user runs the HIS Client:

We have set these settings. The registry shows one thing but the SNA
Client
Configuration shows another thing. I thought the SNA Client Configuration
got
this information from the registry but for some reason this is not
working.
It must be stored somewhere else on the machine as well. I will try
contacting HIS PSS again. Has anyone else seen this problem?

Latifa,

For SNA 4 clients the sponsor server names are held under

For HIS200x in non-service mode it's

Try setting the "AcceptSponsorsListUpdate" entry to YES, as that will
not only
update the list, but should fix whatever cached info the client config
might be
looking at.

We are having difficulty with Client Configuration Updates on end
user
workstations while migrating the users from SNA 4.0 servers to HIS
2000
Servers.

We are using SMS to push the updates the machines running the SNA 4.0
client
and a logon script to update the HIS client configurations.

The update program updates the sponsor server names in the registry
key
but
when we run the SNA Server Client Configuration on the desktop the
list
of
servers is in most cases entirely different.

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SnaBase\Parameters
The update then stops and restarts the SNABASE service on the
workstation.
All changes are done as local system.

When we check the registry the entries are there assuming the SMS
push
worked but the Client Configuration still lists the old server names
in
the
configuration. This is causing problems with the support team who is
accustomed to using this application to enter sponsor server
information and
to check the configuration.

Where does the client configuration get the sponsor server names
from?
I
cannot find the entries anywhere else in the registry. We want to
make
sure
that we update not only the registry but also the client
configuration.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We are
updating
thousands of client machines through this process.

Latifa,

Are you isntalling the HIS End User client as a Service, or as an
applicaiton? If you are running it as an application, the entry is:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SNABase\Parameters\Sponsors

If you are running it as a Serivce, the entry is:

HKLM\SYSTEM\Services\SnaBase\Parameters\Sponsors

No we are not using the same registry entries for both versions. We have
successfully migrated over 1000 users but in many cases we are seeing the
difference between what is in the registry and what is displayed in the
client configuration.

I will open a case with PSS and post findings. I am trying to find out
where
the client configuration reads the sponsor server list from.

Latifa,

I struggled with this same type of problem for quite some time. Reread the
KB-301363 and also KB-307750. If an end user has previously loaded the HIS
client, they will have registry values stored in their registry under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER. If you then make changes to the SNA values located under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, those changes will not get propagated to any users that
have already loaded HIS and already have entries under their
HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

The solution for this is detailed in KB-307750. When you run the HICLICFG
program with the "/a" parameter, it does two things. It modifies entries at
the machine level (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) and it also changes a registry value
that forces these changes to be propagated to all users, including users
that already have SNA entries under their HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry values,
the next time they load HIS client.

We have set these settings. The registry shows one thing but the SNA
Client
Configuration shows another thing. I thought the SNA Client
Configuration
got
this information from the registry but for some reason this is not
working.
It must be stored somewhere else on the machine as well. I will try
contacting HIS PSS again. Has anyone else seen this problem?

Latifa,

For SNA 4 clients the sponsor server names are held under

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SnaBase\Parameters

For HIS200x in non-service mode it's

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SnaBase\Parameters

Try setting the "AcceptSponsorsListUpdate" entry to YES, as that will
not only
update the list, but should fix whatever cached info the client config
might be
looking at.

We are having difficulty with Client Configuration Updates on end
user
workstations while migrating the users from SNA 4.0 servers to HIS
2000
Servers.

We are using SMS to push the updates the machines running the SNA
4.0
client
and a logon script to update the HIS client configurations.

The update program updates the sponsor server names in the registry
key
but
when we run the SNA Server Client Configuration on the desktop the
list
of
servers is in most cases entirely different.

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SnaBase\Parameters
The update then stops and restarts the SNABASE service on the
workstation.
All changes are done as local system.

When we check the registry the entries are there assuming the SMS
push
worked but the Client Configuration still lists the old server names
in
the
configuration. This is causing problems with the support team who is
accustomed to using this application to enter sponsor server
information and
to check the configuration.

Where does the client configuration get the sponsor server names
from?
I
cannot find the entries anywhere else in the registry. We want to
make
sure
that we update not only the registry but also the client
configuration.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We are
updating
thousands of client machines through this process.

THANKS

Latifa
