I was getting the immediate error. To work around it, I just typed
random text in both the username and password fields. Then in regedit,
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\Notification will
contain 2 values that have the random text. Delete the username and password
*data*, but leave the blank value there. The password should say
“(zero-length binary value)”.

You could prolly just manually create these two values and save a step, but
I didn’t try that. If you do, make sure SmtpPassword is REG_BINARY and
SmtpUserName is REG_SZ.
