The Operations Manager Service Pack 1 (SP1) Agent or Management Server may be shown as greyed out in the Operations Manager console and the following events may be logged in the event log:

Event Type: Error

"<computer fqdn name>" with id:"{38696FAA-2A83-6068-B008-DB43D49FB879}" cannot be
initialized and will not be loaded. Management group "<management group name>"

Cause

Computers having files or folder that start with "Program" on the root drive may not be monitored. All workflows fail when file "c:\Program" is present on the machine. This happens because HealthService.exe is unable to start MonitoringHost.exe.

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.
