This issue occurs because MOM 2005 SP1 cannot use the Active Directory Management Pack to monitor domain controllers that are in untrusted domains.
To work around this issue, install a separate MOM management group in each untrusted forest.
Note This issue has been known to be partially resolved by the following method. First, apply MOM 2005 SP1. Then, use the
Active Directory Topology Discovery script to enable the server fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) to be added to the
Computer table. However, when you use this method, most of the scripts will continue to log errors.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
