SMC Error: Unable to connect to logger on [PC Name]

When we tried to open System Management Console (SMC),  but failed and came out an error message:
"Unable to connect to logger on [PC Name]"


How to solve the problem:

For operating system Windows 2003 Server:
1. Edit the boot.ini, by going to Start / Run
2. Type sysdm.cpl and then click OK
3. Select the Advanced tab
4. Click Settings in the Startup and Recovery
5. In the System Startup, click Edit button

For Windows 2003, add to the Boot.ini file:
/ execute / NOPAE

For example:

[operating systems]
multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \ WINDOWS = "Microsoft Windows Server 2003 " / fastdetect / execute / NOPAE

For Windows XP with SP2 added to the Boot.ini:
/ noexecute = alwaysoff / NOPAE
