How to open NAL file?
An often recurring problem with System Management Server Network Abstraction Layer is that NAL is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that NAL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NAL file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NAL with Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS). Below you will find a list of applications that support NAL files.
Programs to open NAL file
Remember to download programs supporting NAL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) with NAL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NAL file still does not use the Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NAL file with the Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) with System Management Server Network Abstraction Layer there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NAL file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The NAL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the NAL file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our NAL file. Sometimes virus-infected NAL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NAL file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NAL file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file NAL except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move NAL to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the NAL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NAL file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NAL file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
