Shrewsoft VPN client - can't open Access Manager


Shrewsoft VPN client - can't open Access Manager

Problem


Access Manager is not visible
Occurred after adjusting using dual monitors.
Reinstall does not fix the issue.


The Fix


Use regedit to rename or delete the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ShrewSoft\vpn\user

Had a look around the Shrewsoft support site - nothing useful in there to fix this problem.

    I had to delete the complete ShrewSoft entry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ to be able to access the management window again.

      Same here, worked after deleting the whole Shrewsoft entry.

      It just recreates the entry after you launch the program again in case anyone is worried about deleting it.

    Thank you, thank you! This problem is a regular occurrence for a user who normally uses an external monitor and then attempts to use this without the external monitor. Shrewsoft seems to remember its position on the external monitor and open there, even though it is not present. We have been going crazy trying to figure out how to resolve it. Many thanks!

Server Manager Refresh completed with one or more warning

The system cannot access one or more event logs because of insufficient rights The Problem: Configuration refresh message. The system cannot access one or more event logs because of insufficient rights, file corruption, or other reasons. For more information, see the Operation channel in the ServerManager-ManagementProvider error log on the target server. Problem occurred on Server 2012 servers that have been upgraded to Server 2012R2 servers. Servers are also clustered. The Solution: Following the event logs leads to a few registry keys. You can eliminate the messages by: 1. Export the following registry keys (for safety) 2. Delete the following keys: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Channels\Microsoft-Windows-DxpTaskRingtone/Analytic HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Channels\Microsoft-Windows-IME-Roaming/Analytic HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Channels\Microsoft-Windows-IME-SCDICCOMPILER/Analytic HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mic

Hyper-V could not replicate changes for virtual machine as replication is suspended on the Replica server

EVENT ID 32088 for all VMs After running out of disk space on the Replica host server, all VMs stopped replicating.  Replication cannot simply be started by right clicking on the source VM and selecting Resume Replication. No console error message just the event log event 32088.  I considered removing replication and re-replicating but this seemed an awful lot of work for simple problem. Tried stopping the Hyper-V service on the replica host and restarting, but this also did not work. THE FIX 1. Go to the destination replica server, right click each VM and select Resume Replication.  2. Now you can go to the source server, right click each VM and select Resume Replication. For some strange reason this works. Just trying one end or the other will fail without a console error message (but shows in the event log).
