Log Shipping Setup Problem

When using the Database Maintenance Plan WIzard to setup log shipping I have
the following problem:
While Adding a Destination Database, usually when you select a server from
the server list, the Transaction Log Desination Directory is automatically
filled in with a default.
When I select one particular server from the list, this does not get
automatically filled in and the server name that I selected from the list
does not show up in the Server Name: field, even though it appeared in the
drop down list. Other server do not exhibit this behavior but function
correctly.
From what I understand, the server will not show up in the list if it is not
SQL Entreprise Edition, so I don't think that should be the problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Matthew.Bando@.REMOVE-csctgi.comEasy solution. Evidently, having the destination (secondary) server
registered in EM is not enough. I actually had to open an active connectino
in EM to the secondary server before startnig the Database Maintenance Plan
Wizard.
