  I can't seem to get past the "unable to connect to MSX 'server_name'" error when enlisting a SQL2005 TSX with a 2000 MSX.  I've made the registry change regarding the "MSXEncryptChannelOptions" value w/no success.  In fact, the registry entry didn't even exist.

  Anyway, does anybody have any useful information on how to get past this error?  What is happening "behind the scenes" that I might research?

  Thanks, Bruce

  I dunno for sure but I believe that you can have a 2005 MSX and a 2000 TSX but not the reverse as you are trying.

  Hi,

  I couldn't enlist a SQL2005 TSX on a SQL2000 MSX! The other way round I get an error message, explaning that there is a version conflict. :-S

  Greetings...

  I'm a liar, now it worked out. Just add MSXEncryptChannelOptions-DWORD with value 0 and everything is fine.
