Hello Roland,Thanks for updating. It seems like the Database or Reproting Servicegot a problem. So the data cannot be accessed.Is there any problem when you using the SCE RTM?If possible, I'd like to suggest re-installing anew SCE 2007 SP1 server. The steps to perform a re-installation are as follows:1. Un-install SCE from Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programes.2. Remove SCE SCP: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 ofCN=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.3. Delete the key in registry HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\System Center EssentialsHKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Operations Manager4. Restart the server and perform the fresh installation of SCE with SP1.Thanks,Yog Li - MSFT

Thank you! This solved my problem... Kind regards, Roland.
