Hi, Please read the question 8 of the FAQ: Frequently Posted Questions and Answers http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/systemcenter/thread/c44515cb-fb8b-4472-a3d4-a17fa6729a03/ Please make sure you followed exactly those steps.

Hi,First of all, thank you.I followed steps described in part 8 of FAQ, but the error is still exists. I didn't find key WmsdeInstalled in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Update Services\Server\Setup\, but i created REG_DWORD key with value of 0. Now i'm trying to run Essentials Reports called "Hardware inventory" and ihave this error: Date: 16.04.2009 12:17:02Application: System Center EssentialsApplication Version: 6.0.1885.0Severity: ErrorMessage: Cannot initialize report.

Hello AVinogradov,If this issue still exist,did youre-install the SCE server on a fresh-installed Windows 2003 Server? This will avoid most of the errors about SUSDB.Thanks,Yog Li - MSFT

Hello Yog Li, I have production SCE (upgraded from WSUS). Is it possible to use the product without a reinstall on a clean system? Why upgrade from WSUS to SCE available if it doesn't work? Such errors indicate that the product is under beta. Thanks.

Hi AVinogradov,You may contact CSS to start a case to resolve this issue. Microsoft System Center Essentials 2007 https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?&c1=508&gprid=12684 Hope it helps.Yog Li - MSFT

Hi Yog Li, Unfortunately support.microsoft.com works for money only. So, there is no way to use SCE 2007 for 30 days for free, because it is not functional. Thank you anyway.
