The Type or Name Syntax of the Registry Key Value IndigoTcpPort is Incorrect

[ad_1]

Recently, I tried opening PowerShell from the SCVMM console but received the error message:

The type or name syntax of the registry key value IndigoTcpPort under SoftwareMicrosoftMicrosoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager Administrator ConsoleSettings is incorrect.

“The type or name syntax of the registry key value IndigoTcpPort under SoftwareMicrosoftMicrosoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager Administrator ConsoleSettings is incorrect.”

The Problem

This happens if the registry key, IndigoTcpPort is not correctly set. This key should be a REG_DWORD type but, as shown in the screenshot, the type is REG_SZ.

Solution

The fix for this problem is to delete the IndigoTcpPort REG_SZ value and create a new REG_DWORD (32-bit) value with the same name (IndigoTcpPort), then set the value to 00001fa4

Restarting the computer after creating the new reg value is unnecessary.

Conclusion

The fix for the SCVMM error is as strange and surprising as what may have caused it. However, I was glad to have fixed it by deleting and re-creating the IndigoTcpPort registry value and I hope you’re too!

I would like to hear from you, especially what you believe may have caused this problem.
