Essentials 2007 policy type problem
Hi.I have re-installed our System Center Essentials in a new server.I failed to remove the policy settings on the previous server before installing it to the new serverwhich I think causes the policy type on the configuration of the new server to be greyed out.Is there a workaround to this problem?I have tried the scecertpolicyconfigutil.exe that I found on some threads here but I always get this reply:"Failed to configure Policy and Deploy Certs. hr=80070002"We are running AD on server 2000 and I can't seem to find the SCE GPO that was installed there by our previous SCE.Hope you can help me regarding this problem.Thank you.

Hello,Before reinstalling SCE server, please delete the old SUP:a. On the Domain Controller, open ADSI Edit (Start - Run - Adsiedit.msc).b. Right click on the “Domain” tree and select New - Query.c. In the New Query window, enter the following:Name: SCESCP QueryRoot of Search: <domain name>Query String: (&(objectCategory=serviceConnectionPoint)(cn=SCESCP))d. Click on OK.e. Expand the Domain node in ADSI Edit and select the “SCESCP Query” node.f. A “CN=SCESCP” object should be listed in the right-hand pane, with a distinguished name of“CN=SCESCP,CN=<ComputerName>,CN=<OUName>,DC=<DomainName>,DC=com”. This tells us which computer account has the SCE SCP.g. Delete the SCESCP object from the “SCESCP Query” node in ADSI Edit.Besides, delete the key in registry:HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\System Center EssentialsHKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Operations ManagerHope it helps,Yog Li - MSFT

Hi Yog Li,I did the ADSI edit thing and have found the CN=SCESCP object but when I delete it,A dialogue box appear saying "Directory object not found".Can I proceed with the deletion of the registry entries since SCESCP object can't be deleted?Is it safe to delete these registry entries?As an addition,I have already installed the SCE on the new server.It's just this greyed out thing that stops me from continuing with the deployment. What if I choose Local Policy to configure managed computers? Will it affect my deployment?

Hello Naisirk,1. Do nor delete the registry entries if you already installed the new SCE Server successfully.2. For the difference of "Group Policy" and "Local Policy", please read the article below:Local Policy vs. Group Policyhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb437395.aspx 3.
