Cause

These settings are stored in the database as well as the local machine's registry (under "HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\AccessData\Enterprise\Agent").  If you connect Enterprise to an existing database, these settings may already be filled out, but they won't be added to the registry until you follow the steps above.
