  Hello,
  
  In our environment we are currently having an issue with a Windows 2003 DC. The server is located in Domain A together with an Essentials server. Agent was pushed to the DC from the Essentials server without any issues, monitoring works fine. We  also have a MS in Domain B that the Essentials server is configured to communicate with through the "Configure Service Provide Mode" tool. This is also working perfectly.
  
  Note: There is a trust setup between Domain A and Domain B using certificates from a Stand-alone CA on the MS and the Essentials server.
  
  
  However, while on the MS under Administration -> Pending Management I can see the DC and I select it and click "Approve" it does show up under Agent Monitored but after 3 failed heartbeats it goes gray. In the event logs on the DC the only thing that shows up is a warning.

  On the Essentials machine I get the same error in the event log.
  
  On the MS however, I get these two errors:

  I have checked and double checked passwords for all accounts and the weird part to me is that communication works between the MS and the Essentials itself but not between the MS and the Agents connected to the Essentials server. I am not even sure any of the errors I posted above are related to the issue I'm having but I don't have much else to go on.
  
  Any help would be much appreciated!
  
  Regards,
  Sebastian
