Client Console Metadata Generation failed

Question

Hi,
I try to connect with Client Console to CRM 5.0 SP06. When I use Metadata Replication, the connection mask disappear and I have this error in the RFC log:
">>> RfcGetAttributes [1] ...
  >>>> rfcOrgHandle [1]
  <<<< rfcOrgHandle returned [1]
<* RfcGetAttributes [1] successfull
>>> [1] RfcSetCodePage (4103)...

Number of known structure: 2
Total size needed by the structure directory: 1018"
The Client Console can retrieve tables list for generating tables, but cannot generate them, so it can connect to the server but cannot do complex operations.
It seems the Client Console is trying to connect in load balancing mode, but I use dedicated server mode.  I suppose the Client Console cannot write and then find registry entries to make the communication.
I installed note yet
Can I drive this behaviour directly with registry entries?
Thanks in advance,
Piercarlo

Hi,
Ask you R3 Administrator to define group PUBLIC and add the client console user to this group. This should work.
