Troubleshooting Issues When You Use the Discovery Wizard to Install an Agent

  • Artigo

Aplica-se a: System Center Operations Manager 2007

Installing an Operations Manager 2007 agent by using the Discovery Wizard is generally referred to as a push installation. When you receive an alert related to a push installation of the Operations Manager agent, check the alert details for the related error code. Use that error code with the following table to troubleshoot the alert.

Error Error code Remediation Steps

The MOM Server could not execute WMI Query "Select * from Win32_Environment where NAME='PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE'" on computer server.domain.com

Operation: Agent Install

Install account: domain\account

Error Code: 80004005

Error Description: Unspecified error

  1. Check the PATH environment variable.  If the PATH statement is very long, this might fail. Reduce the path by converting any long file name destinations to the 8.3 file name format, and remove any PATH statements that are not required.

  2. The performance counters on the target agent might be corrupted. To rebuild all performance counters including extensible and third-party counters in Windows Server 2003, at a command prompt, type the following commands. Press ENTER after each command.

    cd \Windows\System32

    lodctr /R

    (Note that /R is uppercase.)

    Windows Server 2003 rebuilds all the counters because it reads all the .ini files in the C:\Windows\Inf\009 folder for the English operating system. For more information about how to manually rebuild Performance Center Library, see Article 300956 in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=181890).

  3. Install the agent manually. For instructions about agent installation, see Deploying Windows Agents (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=180383).

  1. Ensure that the account that is used to install the agent is a member of the Administrators group on the local computer on which you want to install the agent.

  2. Check to ensure that the firewall on the computer on which you want to install the agent is not blocking RPC/NetBIOS access.

  3. Inspect Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) health by following these steps:

    1. On the management server, on the taskbar, click Start, click Run, type Wbemtest, and then click OK.

    2. In the Windows Management Instrumentation Tester window, click Connect.

    3. In the Namespace box, type \\<FQDN>\Root\Cimv2, using the FQDN of the computer on which you want to install the agent, and then click Connect.

    4. If the previous step fails, on the target computer, click Start, click Run, type Wbemtest, and then click OK.

    5. In the Windows Management Instrumentation Tester window, click Connect.

    6. In the Namespace box, type \\Root\Cimv2, and then click Connect.

  1. Check to ensure that the firewall on the computer on which you want to install the agent is not blocking remote procedure call (RPC)/NetBIOS access.

  2. This error can be caused by a DNS resolution issue. Make sure the computer on which you want to install the agent and the management server can ping each other, using both NetBIOS and FQDN.

  3. Check to ensure that the firewall on the computer on which you want to install the agent is not blocking Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) access.

  4. Check to make sure the RPC service is started.

The MOM Server failed to acquire lock to remote computer servername.domain.com. This means there is already an agent management operation proceeding on this computer, please retry the Push Agent operation after some time.

Operation: Agent Install

Error Code: 80072971

Error description: Unknown error 0x80072971

This problem occurs if the LockFileTime.txt file is located in the following folder on the remote computer:

%Windir%\422C3AB1-32E0-4411-BF66-A84FEEFCC8E2

When you install or remove a management agent, the Operations Manager 2007 management server copies temporary files to the remote computer. One of these files is named LockFileTime.txt. This lock file is intended to prevent another management server from performing a management agent installation at the same time as the current installation. If the management agent installation is unsuccessful and if the management server loses connectivity with the remote computer, the temporary files might not be removed. Therefore, the LockFileTime.txt may remain in the folder on the remote computer. When the management server next tries to perform an agent installation, the management server detects the lock file. Therefore, the management agent installation is unsuccessful.
