    invalid attribute/option identifier

    Hi
    I currently have a problem with registering a new server in my Enterprise
    Manager on a new PC.

    I need to connect to a MSSQL2K server on a windows 2003.
    My current PC is on the same LAN as the server and has no problem
    registering the server in Enterprise manager. This PC uses NT (about time I
    change :-)

    The new PC runs WIN2K. But this PC is on another LAN and has to access the
    server through a firewall. Port 1433 is open in the firewall.
    I use a Firewall-1 authentication agent to access the server.

    I use SQL authentificatio n to logon (sa account), I have checked that the
    new clients network libraries are the same version as the servers.
    In the client network Utility I have set up an alias with the server I want
    to access.

    The registration seems to access the SQL server, but comes out with an error
    stating: "invalid attribute/option identifier"

    When I search KB with this message, I get nothing. Did anyone in here
    experience anything like this? Any pointers to help me move on would be
    greatly appreciated.

    best regards
    René Pedersen

      There are a few hits on Google which suggest reinstalling MDAC and/or the
      client tools, plus this post about a specific DLL:
