A device which is not part of this management group has attempted to access this Health Service.
Has anyone found an answer to this yet? I have uninstalled/reinstalled the agents both manually and through the push. Rebooted the client, rebooted the sce server. Forced the group policy to reapply, forced the health agent to /reportnow and I still get the error. The client shows up under the agent managed section but under the health state column it shows not monitored. The clients can ping the SCE server by FQDN and RDP to it as well so name resolution is working fine. On the the SCE server I get this in the logEvent Type:InformationEvent Source:OpsMgr ConnectorEvent Category:NoneEvent ID:20000Date:6/25/2009Time:10:09:40 AMUser:N/AComputer:*******Description:A device which is not part of this management group has attempted to access this Health Service.

Hello,I noticed the last sentence. Did you run the Feature Configuration Wizard after you installing SCE? Generally, when the Feature Configuration Wizard was run and Domain Policy mode was selected, a security group named SCE Managed Computers (<Management Group Name>) and two Group Policy objects named SCE Managed Computers Group Policy and System Center Essentials All Computers Policy should be created in Active Directory. You can recreate it by rerunning the Feature Configuration Wizard. 1. Delete any SCE GPO from AD. 2. Run the command line below on the SCE server: SCECertPolicyConfigUtil.exe /ManagementGroup <MGName> /uninstall 3. Confirm that the Registry key is removed: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\System Center Essentials\1.0\PolicySettings 4. Run the Feature Configuration Wizard again and configure a domain-level Group Policy. 5. Confirm that the Management Group is created. Hope it helps. Thanks. Yog Li - MSFT

Hi, Is there any other error message logged, such as 20067 or 21002? If yes, it could be the problem of Mutual Authentication. Please navigate to the C:\Program Files\System Center Essentials 2007\Certificates directory on the Agent, verify if there are two files: WSUSSSL.cer and WSUSCodeSigning.cer. Please also check the following conditions if the certificates correct: 1. Verify that the affected computer is in the SCE_Managed_Computers group: a. Open Active Directory Users and Computers <DSA.MSC> b. View the OU that contains one of the computers that is experiencing the issue c. Open the properties of the Computer d. Select the "Member Of" tab. e. Verify that SCE_Managed_Computers is listed here. If not, add the computer to the SCE_Managed_Computers group. f. Log the client off of the network, then log the client back on. g. Restart the OpsMgr Health Service on the client. 2. Check if duplicate SPNs are there or missing, use following query command: ldifde -f C:\*.txt -t 3268 -d dc=domain,dc=com -l serviceprincipalname -r (serviceprincipalname=*) -p subtree In the above command, replace DC=domain,DC=com with the DN of the domain If you find and remove duplicate SPNs, use setspn -D to delete all of the HealthService SPNs. Then, restart OpsMgr Health Service on the management server and let it register its SPNs with the correct logon account. For example: Using the example above, the setspn -D commands would be as follow: setspn -D MSOMHSvc/OPSMGRFA opsmgrfasetspn -D MSOMHSvc/OPSMGRFA.ChildDomainA.ForestA.local opsmgrfa Note: You can find setspn.exe from Windows Server 2003 support tools.

Ok here is a new twist, after a long weekend the machine finally showed up as being managed and all the of the event log error messages have disappeared.Now, however,the PC is in the "All Computers" Group but not in the all "All clients" default group or the "windows xp" group that I created.Any ideas as to why It took about a week for it to show up as being managed and whoy not its not showing up in the proper groups?

Hi,I have met a similar issue. Please delete all Network Devices from Administration space -> Device Management -> Networked Devices and reinstall agents to see if the issue resolved.It seem like a bug of the SCE Network Device MP.You candownload and install the latest version of Network Device Monitoring Library MP from the link below:Microsoft System Center Network Device Monitoring Management Pack for System Center Essentials 2007 SP1 (KB960569)http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=8200e405-f871-4f19-a991-0411285fcbe5&displaylang=enThanks,Yog Li - MSFT

Yog,There are no devices under the "network devices" section in Administration space -> Device Management -> Networked Devices All of the computer are under the "agent managed" section.

Hello,Sorry for no more ideas on this issue except what I posted before. I would suggest you contacting CSS to start a case if possible. Microsoft System Center Essentials 2007 https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?&c1=508&gprid=12684Hope it helps,Yog Li - MSFT

Hi jc23,have you solved this problem? Our customer have to solve the same issue.Thanks Jan
September 25th, 2009 5:48am

Hi Jan. Open the Systems Center Operations Console, go to the administration area right click throw the management server or gateway server that you want, click on properties and on the security tab select this option "Review new manual agents installation in pending management view " Hope this works. (Worked for me :) ) David C.

Thanks David, We finally opened a case with MS. The problem was we had some orphan machines in our SCE database. Apparently SCE dosent handle this situation very well and did not let any other machines talk to theSCE server or join the SCE group untill they were removed. The orpahn machines did not show up in the console, but they were in an encypted in a table.If anyone is interested I can email them the script that I was sent to detect and correct this issue.

November 13th, 2009 5:39pm

Hi JC23,Can you send it to as erll please giga.michael @ gmail.comWe put our RMS and MS into maintenance mode for our patch weekend and then installed 78 new agents. I believe it is due to the RMS being in maintenance mode that the health service doesn't register the new agents properly. I need to remove the entries from the database and I think a reinstall will fix it as at the moment it doesn't help.Thanks - I hope you can save me =)Thanks,M

jc23,Please send me the script as well: bonysmokes@yahoo.comI suspect that I'm having the same issue. For a while, I was seeing phantom servers --servers that used to be connected but were removed. Now I'm trying to add servers with the same name but cannot.Hopefully your solution helps.Thanks either way!-Bony

Hi JC, Hopefully you are still listen to this thread as it appears more people are affected by this issue. I have logged a PSS call and they don't know anything about this script! Could you please send me this script or perhaps post it here so we can just see what it does? The MS guy just claimed the script may have been running a powershell command, Get-AgentPendingAction, however I expect it actually does some SQL queries to find the orphaned entries in the database. littlenath AT Hotmail.com Thanks Nathan

Hi JC,Could it be the script got mixed up by posting it to the forum?I mean like the quote's got mixed up or something?When I copy the script and paste it into a SQL Query the part below is mixed up I think....Can you edit your post and put the script into acode box SQL like below...Thanks, SELECT @Statement = 'IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM ' + QUOTENAME(@ViewName) + ' WHERE BaseManagedEntityId = ''' + CAST(@BaseManagedEntityId AS varchar(50)) + ''') PRINT ''' + CAST(@BaseManagedEntityId AS varchar(50)) + ' ' + @ViewName + ''''
December 3rd, 2009 10:07am

Thank you so much JC!The above query was recommended to me by PSS this morning. Running this query takes some time (around 40 min). It spat out a single GUID.After following your repair notes, I now have a very healthy SCOM Agent view.Thanks againNathan
