sles10 sp2 just wont register with ncc

[idshark]

Hi Everyone,

I just updated one of our production Boxes from slessp1 to slessp2 . Plan was to replace the yup update service with SMT as soon as sp2 was installed. Now for some reason the Box just wont re-register with ncc , I have tried many TiD's 3818394, 3087507,3303599, to try and get this working nothing works. In ncc even tried to remove all activation services, followed the TiD's again a no go. Really hate wasting a support call to novell for something so cheap like this , any ideas would be helpful.

Regards.
