A virtual server error message periodically appears when a virtual hard disk file cannot be read in MOM 2005

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:
  • You configure a virtual machine in Microsoft Virtual PC or Microsoft Virtual Server.
  • You configure this virtual machine on a computer that is running Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2005 with Microsoft Virtual Server Management Pack for MOM 2005.
  • The virtual hard disk (.vhd) file that was defined for the virtual machine does not exist or cannot be read.
In this scenario, an error message that is similar to the following periodically appears in the MOM 2005 Operator console:
"Virtual Server – Service Discovery” script failed on line number 335

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.
