- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS
========
When you attempt to use System Policy Editor (Poledit.exe) to remotely edit a
computer's registry, you may receive either of the following error messages:
- Unable to save the Registry: error 1243220 occurred.
- Unable to save the Registry: error 1243216 occurred.
CAUSE
=====
This behavior can occur if you are using the wrong .adm file for the registry
you are attempting to remotely edit.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this behavior, use the appropriate .adm file for the registry you are
editing. For example, if you are editing a Windows NT 4.0 Workstation registry
from a computer running Windows 95, use the Winnt.adm file instead of the
Windows.adm file.
NOTE: Because of differences in registry formats between Windows 95 and Windows
NT 4.0, you cannot use the Windows.adm file to remotely edit a Windows 95
registry from a computer running Windows NT 4.0. Instead, you must run System
Policy Editor from another computer running Windows 95.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Using the Common.adm and Windows.adm files, Windows 95-based computers can
modify the registry and Config.pol file of other Windows 95-based computers.
Using the Winnt.adm and Common.adm files, Windows NT 4.0-based computers can
modify the registry and Ntconfig.pol file of other Windows NT 4.0- based
computers.
