Resolution

* smreg
- From smconsole, make a backup of settings. (File -> Save settings)
- From command line run, 'smreg -init'. This will bring default registry.
- Once the command is completed, you can load saved settings. (File -> Load settings) Take a mind, putting credential for Data section is required.
(You can simply, enable In-memory Tracing from smconsole and Apply and uncheck it later.
However, we don't know what other registry might be missing. So we recommend using -init method.)
