Operator Console displays "Unknown" in the Operating System Type column for some devices in Microsoft Operations Manager 2005
The Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2005 Operator Console displays "Unknown" in the Operating System Type column of the Computers window for some computers. However, the Computer Details window displays the correct Microsoft Windows versions.
This issue occurs because the Operating System Type column does not indicate the operating system version.
Instead, it indicates whether a computer is a workstation, a server, or a domain controller. For example, the Operator Console displays "Unknown" in the Operating System Type column for the following devices:
- Cluster member computers
- Network devices
- UNIX-based or Linux-based computers
- Proxy-managed computers
- Computers that are discovered by Service Discovery
This behavior is expected.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2005

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
