SUMMARY:

Registry keys that affect UltraBac fall into two categories, UltraBac Specific and Non-UltraBac Specific. Non-UltraBac Specific Registry Keys are registry keys that UltraBac does not alter or access directly but may affect the use of UltraBac. This article presents the Non-UltraBac Specific Registry Keys.

UltraBac Specific Keys that are not modified through the UltraBac GUI are also documented:

See UBQ: UBQ000156 UltraBac Specific Hidden Registry Keys

When possible, registry keys should be set through their associated applications. Some "hidden" registry keys must be set using Microsoft's regedt32.exe (preferred) or regedit.exe utility.

Note: This document supplies information used to edit the registry. Incorrectly editing the registry can corrupt and destabilize your system configuration. Only experienced users should edit the registry. Ensure spelling and capitalization and avoid typos. UltraBac suggest performing a complete backup including the registry and familiarizing yourself with the restore process before editing the registry.

DETAILS:

TcpMaxDataRetransmissions:REG_DWORD

This registry entry increases how many times TCP re-transmits. If you configured UltraBac to use SMTP for email notifications and you get an error similar to "SMTP error connecting to SMTP server: WSA 10060" you may need to increase this value. Typically you would set it to 10. If this fails to correct the problem increase this value to 20.

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\TcpMaxDataRetransmissions:REG_DWORD

The default value is 5 (which means TCP will re-transmit 5 times).

A value of 10 (or 20) will increase the re-transmit value accordingly.
