And also about:Workflow Runtime: Failed to run a WMI query

I have SCOM 2007R2, the total processor utilization Alert comes not in my Infrastructure. But i agree with the workflow runtime failures. They´re very often (30 - 40 Alerts per day by 195 monitored machines) and I had no solution to fox this. Can anyone help me/us? CU4 for OpsMgr 2007R2 is installed.

Hi Denzel, first regarding the agent processor usage. Could be due to several reasons. Most of thsoe and the solutions or checks you could do are in the product knowledge field of that alert. FOr instance if you have a few custom management packs in there that are misconfigured, or are running in a too short interval. Or perhaps you have multiple agent instances running. Or the WSH is old. Check the agent version as well. Also check if these appear at some time of the day. Could be that they are busy somehow. In a few environments we even changed the threshold from 25% default to 40%. All depends on your environment. Sometimes a very small change in settings can get rid of 80% of the alerts. If there really is something wrong you can try to find out using the performance investigation suggestions you find in the product knowledge of the alert. The WMI would actually be a different question, but in most cases there is just something wrong with WMI. Also in this case repairing wmi sometimes works. In other cases just check out the product knowledge of that alert as well, it mentions possible causes and solutions. This will bring you a long way into getting much less of these alerts.Bob Cornelissen - BICTT (My BICTT Blog)

Hi, Regarding the processor utilization alert, please try to adjust the threshold and see how it works. Meanwhile, please also try the methods in the following post: Agent Processor Time Alert http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/operationsmanagergeneral/thread/06d1d4a0-e571-4ae2-bb56-f9422ce4ae90 For the workflow runtime issue, please try the methods in the following post: Getting lots of Script Failed To Run alerts?
