    Ok my install has only been up and running for a few days but what I'm having a problem with is seeing the disk space usage under the computers tab. I did look under monitoring in Windows sever> logical disk state, there it show data for all the servers I am monitoring. So I was wondering why it doesn't show up under the computers? Thanks.

    Hi Rick,

     

    From the GPresult.txt you sent, the GPOs should have applied. If you have checked the suggestions I mentioned above, please try the following steps:

     

    1.     Open your Windows Update Log file (C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log) on a “unknown” client.

     

    2.     Do a "Find..." for the following word:  failed

     

    3.     Scan through all the "failed" messages until you get to the last few, they will be the most recent, and most relevant.

     

    4.     Next to each "Failed" you should see an error code.

     

    If your error code is 0x8024400a, try the following resolution: 

     

    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;905422

     

    If you see error code:   0x00012c try the following steps on the problem machine:

     

    a)     On the client that is experiencing the problem...

    b)     Stop the "Windows Management Instrumentation" Service

    c)     Go to the "system32\wbem" folder

    d)     Delete the "respository" folder

    e)     Start the "Windows Management Instrumentation" Service

    f)      Run "wuauclt /detectnow"

     

    If this is not the case, please try uninstalled the SCE agent on those “unknown” clients and re-push the agent to see if it works.

     

    If the problem still persists, please help collect more information for further research:

     

    Information Needed:

     

    1. On a “Unknown” client, stop the Automatic Update service via services.msc.

     

    2. Rename the windowsupdate.log (under %windir%) to windowsupdate1.log, and then start the Automatic Update service.

     

    3. Run “wuauclt /detectnow” command.

     

    4. Wait for 10 minutes and then run “wuauclt /reportnow” command.

     

    5. We will get a new %windir%\windowsupdate.log file.

     

    6. Please send this new windowsupdate.log as well as the windowsupdate1.log files to scedata@microsoft.com and copy the following three lines in the email body:

    HI,

    A couple of questions:

    1)Is this for all computers?

    2)What os are you running?

    3)Do you get any other inventory information on the computer view?

    Hi Rick,

     

    As far as I know, SCE 2007 use different function to rollup report under Monitoring and Computer tab.

     

    Under Computer tab, SCE 2007 use the WSUS database as a data source.  The disc space usage is reported  from the client to the Reporting Web Service. This information is pulled from the %windir%\SoftWareDistribution\EventCache folder and is upload to the server. This is not done real-time. The events are cached and then uploaded in bundles of event 0-20 minutes after the client synchronizes with the server.  To force the Windows Update Agent to sent all queued reports to the WSUS server, the “wuauclt /reportnow” command can be run on the client.

    However, under Monitoring tab, the disc space usage is reported by using OperationsManager” and OperationsManagerDW database as data source. It provides access to Operations Manager monitoring data. The data comes from the OpsMgr agent using a discovery defined in the Windows OS management pack.This is the same as SCOM 2007 and done real-time.

    Hope it helps.

    Hi,

    Can you run the command "diskperf" to verify that you have enabled disk monitoring on your systems.

    Hi Rick,

     

    Thanks for your update. SCE 2007 uses WSUS 3.0 features to collect a basic set of hardware and software inventory from managed computers. According to your issue, please check following points:

     

    Suggestions:

     

    1. Please check one of the machines that reports the "Unknown" inventory status by running rsop.msc. Then check the policy of Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Component\Windows update\"Specify intranet Microsoft updates location". It should point to https://<computername.FQDN:8531>.

     

    2. Please ensure that this "Unknown" computer is a member of the AD security group SCE Managed Computers (SCESERVER_MG).

     

    3. Run “wuauclt /detectnow” and “wuauclt /reportnow” command on the "Unknown" clients.

     

    4. Uninstall SCE agent on these “Unknown” clients and then re-push the agent from SCE server.

     

    If the problem still persists, please help collect more information for further research:

     

    Information Needed:

     

    1. On a “Unknown” client, stop the Automatic Update service via services.msc.

     

    2. Rename the windowsupdate.log (under %windir%) to windowsupdate1.log, and then start the Automatic Update service.

     

    3. Run “wuauclt /detectnow” command.

     

    4. Wait for 10 minutes and then run “wuauclt /reportnow” command.

     

    5. We will get a new %windir%\windowsupdate.log file.

     

    6. Please send this new windowsupdate.log as well as the windowsupdate1.log files to scedata@microsoft.com and copy the following information in the email body:

    Here is the out put of that command on one of the servers:

     

    Both Logical and Physical Disk Performance counters on this system
            are automatically enabled on demand.
    For legacy applications using IOCTL_DISK_PERFORMANCE to retrieve raw counters,
    you can use -Y or -N to forcibly enable or disable. No reboot is required.

    Hi Rick,

     

    Have you tried all methods mentioned above. Please run "gpresult /z>c:\gpresult.txt" command on a "unknown" client to check the GPOs have been applied properly.
