Good afternoon: Just installed SCE2007 on a Win2k3_sp2 virtual machine in a Virtual Server environment and I am unable to connect the console to the server. I am getting the following error "Failed to connect to server 'Server1' The sdk service is either not ru running or not yet initalized." Need a little help here. Below is more info. ********************************** Note: The following information was gathered when the operation was attempted. The information may appear cryptic but provides context for the error. The application will continue to run.

Hi gymmbo Did you get some answers or hints? I have the same problem with my installation... :-( The bad thing is... with the release candidate i had less problems then now with the trial... what sould I say? OK, let me know please if you get some news. Thanks Greets, RRemo

Please run Feature configuration Wizard before connecting to SCE Server from Remote UI. Also ensure that there is no firewall blocking the connection to the SCE Server.

Are you able to launch the UI on the local machine? Is the UI machine managed by system center essentials?

I am getting the same thing... does anyone have any explanation for this? Originally the SDK service was not started on the server, so I set it to automatic and then was able to connect. But when I entered my username and password I received the same error. When I check the SDK service on the server, it is again stopped.

I am running SCOM and have been getting these errors when connecting a Management Server Operator Console in Switzerland to the RMS in the US. What is the Feature Configuration Wizard you are referring to? Thanks.

I am also running SCOM 2007 and getting this error message. I just installed SCOM the other day, all worked beautifully until today when I went to open the console.Anyone figure it out?-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Date: 11/5/2007 2:09:28 PMApplication: System Center Operations Manager 2007Application Version: 6.0.5000.0Severity: ErrorMessage: Failed to connect to server 'MCB-ISSCOM01.XXXXXX.com'Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Common.SdkServiceNotInitializedException: Sdk Service has not yet initialized.

Did you find a solution to this? I am stuck with the same problem and trying to find a solution without having to pay $259.00 to Microsoft for support.

Hi, For questions about System Center Operations Manager 2007, please use the Microsoft public newsgroups for SCOM (microsoft.public.opsmgr.setup) which would be the most relevant newsgroup for your question. microsoft.public.opsmgr.setuphttp://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.opsmgr.setup Hope it helps.-----------------------------Sincerely,Guozhen WangMicrosoft Online Community Support

Hi,You need to check whether "OPSMgr Sdk Service" is present and running. After running this service if you still get same error the go to "C:\Program Files\system Center Operations Manager 2007\Tools\" click on StartTrace.bat and after getting it started click onStopTrace.bat. Retry to open SCOM console. Now this should open without error.ThanksShalini

Hi Shalini, I did as what you suggested. I still cannot open the SCOM console without the error "Failed to connect to server. SDK service not initialized. please retry.

I had the same problem.I changed the service account "System Center Data Access" AKA "OMSDK" to a domain admin account and it worked...

I have installed OpsMgr 2007 R2, but when i opened Operations Console, the same error appears i.e. "Failed to connect to server 'Server1' The sdk service is either not running or not yet initalized." i cannot find OpsMgr sdk services in windows services but i have started System Center Data Services, which gets stopped in every 5 minutes. Please anyone help that what I should do to connect it.

Hi aanchaljain18 , for reference the OpsMgr sdk service is the same as the System Center Data Access service. It's the same thing.Have you tried running it under a Domain Admin Account? Tim

I had the same issue. I think it is a registry corruption, I ran the repair (insert SCOM CD and choose repair) and restarted, then it worked as it suppose to work.--Hicham

Shalini, Your solution appears to have corrected the problem I was experiencing. Thank you for the insight. All the best, Earl

i had the same issuepls check the service "sc data access"and "sc manage configuration" in the working status.maybe u will get an error about the service account,pls insert the doamin admin account and the right password ,good luck .
