 Stop all Systems Management Server services. Rename the existing Sms.exe file to Sms.old (this file will most likely be located in either the Sms\Site.srv\X86.bin or Sms\Site.srv\Alpha.bin directories). Copy the new (hotfix) version of Sms.exe to the directory the existing Sms.exe file was located in. Start the Systems Management Server Administrator program. On the Tools menu, click Options. Click Save Settings Now (this creates the SuppressMissingAddressDialog value in the AppSettings key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER in the system registry).</li> Start RegEdt32.exe.</li>  Navigate to the following key: <pre class="fixed_text">HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SMS\Main\AppSettings </li> Change SuppressMissingAddressDialog value from 0 to 1.</li> Close and reopen the Systems Management Server Administrator program.</li></ol>
