Hi,

I installed a SLEs 11 SP2 server with SMT SP2. When I try to sync the repos, the GUI says “OK”, but the log says

```auto

```

Why this?

Hi  
Have you check the NCC page to ensure the credentials for the system  
are still valid? Can you connect via the system credentials on the NCC  
mirrors page?
