Windows 2003 Server in the Internet DMZ in a workgroup not reporting to SCOM2012 SP1

Error logged in the Operations Manager Log on the SCOM2012 Server:

The OpsMgr Connector negotiated the use of mutual authentication with 1P.IP.IP.IP:4092, but Active Directory is not available and no certificate is installed.

A connection cannot be established.

Error logged in operation manager log on Windows 2003 Server:

The OpsMgr Connector connected to RMS.domain.com, but the connection was closed immediately without authentication taking place.  The most likely cause of this error is a failure to authenticate either this agent or the server .

 Check the event log on the server and on the agent for events which indicate a failure to authenticate.

Done the following so far no luck .

• 5723 opened both ways from this Windows 2003 server and our scom2012 SP1 server.
• Created certificates for this Windows 2003 Server numerous times and imported using the momcertimport successfully
• Certs are created using the FQDN of this Windows 2003 Server
• On Windows 2003 Server checked the regkey to make sure the Serial Number of the cert is valid and not screwed up.
• Host file is in place on this Windows 2003 Server pointing to my SCOm2012 SP1 server and pinging is not an issue.
• Stopped the SCOM Agent service on Windows 2003 Server and renamed the folder here C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager\Agent\health service state and restarted the service.
• Certificate on the SCOM2012 server is also valid and not screwed up in the registry.
• review new manual agent installation in pending management view is also enabled under security on the scom 2012 server
• I dont see any thing logged in the Agent Logs on my SCOM 2012 Server related to the above installation attempts.

I know SCOM2012SP1 supports Windows 2003 SP3.  My windows 2003 Servers are SP3.

Try import with MOMCertimport.exe on the newly added MS. Once you did that all worked as expected.

Just FYI.

I also succesfully installed SCOM2012 SP1 agents on windows 2003 servers with SP2.
