When this problem occurs, the MOF file is stored the Sms\Ssrt.mof folder.

MORE INFORMATION
The Transfer Site Settings Wizard was designed to apply an individual site setting to other sites. Take the APM polling schedule as an example. There is a single instance of the APM polling schedule at each site. Therefore, you do not have to identify the one you want to change. This idea is extended to addresses. As a result, you select the source instance, and the wizard replaces the instances at the target site. For example, if M13 is the source address with a certain schedule attached to it, you select that address as the source to apply at a site where the address does not exist. However, every address on that site now has the schedule of the non-existent address.
