How to open ATD file?
The main problem with Microsoft Systems Management Server is that the ATD file is incorrectly associated with programs.

Step 1. Install Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS)
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) program installed.

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) with ATD files
If, despite the installed application, the ATD file does not start in the Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ATD file with the Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) program with the Microsoft Systems Management Server file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ATD file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ATD or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ATD files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ATD file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ATD file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ATD files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the ATD file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the ATD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ATD to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ATD file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
