Resolution
-------------
The updated Print Share Configuration Wizard has been modified to read a registry value for the list of extra resource types that it should allow in a printshare service group.
Install Instructions:
------------------------
1. Download and extract the private zip file to a temporary location on your cluster node. See      the table below to determine which file you must download:
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       | Operating System | Name of Private File to Download   |
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       | Windows x86      |  Private_5_0_227_1437841_W2K3.zip  |
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       | Windows IA64     |  Private_5_0_227_1437841_IA64.zip  | 
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       | Windows X64      |  Private_5_0_227_1437841_X64.zip   |
       ---------------------------------------------------------
   Each .zip file contains the following file:
       -----------------------------------------------
       | Name of the file 	| New Version number |
       -----------------------------------------------
       | PSWizard.exe      	|  5.0.227.470       | 
       -----------------------------------------------
2. Close the Printshare wizard if it is running.
3. Take backup of the file PSWizard.exe, from %VCS_HOME%\bin in directory. Copy the extracted file,    PSWizard.exe, to  %VCS_HOME%\bin in directory. The variable %VCS_HOME% is the default
   installation directory for VCS, typically C:Program FilesVERITAScluster server. The
   earlier file will be replaced.
4. Create registry settings as described below to allow resources that are not recognized by 
   Print Share Configuration Wizard.
	a)Create a registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREVeritasVCSwizardpswizard".
        b)Create a multistring registry value (REG_MULTI_SZ) under the key created in "a" above 	  	  with the name "AllowedResources". 
	c)Add the resource types to string values that need to be allowed in modify mode, for 	  	  e.g. MirrorView.
	  Multiple entries can be added by hitting enter after each entry. 
5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 on all the SFW HA 5.0 RP1a  cluster nodes.
