JSI Tip 8749. When you attempt to start the Local Users and Computers Microsoft Management Console snap-in on Windows 2000, you receive 'library not registered'?

When you try to start the Local Users and Computers MMC snap-in, you receive:

Unable to access the computer \\<ComputerName>.
The error was: library not registered.

This problem is generally the result of missing registry Keys and/or Value Names.

To resolve this problem, I have scripted FixTL97d25.bat, which you run without any parameters.

FixTL97d25.bat contains:

@echo off
setlocal
call :parse %SystemRoot%
(
echo REGEDIT4
echo.
echo \[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\\{97d25db0-0363-11cf-abc4-02608c9e7553\}\]
