mom 2005 agent - existing connection was forcibly closed

are you familiar with this error message? you've probably applied the hotfix to correct it, if you are. when you apply this hotfix, you have to add a new dword value called ServerIOTimeoutMS under this path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mission Critical Software\OnePoint\Configurations\configuration group name\Operations\Consolidator what you may not know is that when you apply mom 2005 sp1, though this hotfix is applied with it, the dword value still needs to be created. if you find yourself in a scenario where you're building a new mom server, keep this in mind. by the way, most people have success by setting this value somewhere between 30000 and 45000.
