  Hi, see the following

  Hi, thank you for your answer,
  
  To the both links: the method GetMonitoringStateHierarchy is obsolete. Visual studio suggests the method GetStateHierarchy.
  
  I had to try about the MonitoringObject with the method GetStateHierarchy to access to all nodes. I get a node, but not all subnodes. That are the top nodes.  For example: the configuration-node and his subnodes. And this subnodes have too subnudes, but C# displays in debugger 0 subnodes. I don't unterstand why. I know that the health explorer have more nodes.
  
  Then I try through the PartialMonitoringObject with the method GetStateHierarchy to access to the nodes. Then I get the subnodes. They are group by computernames. The problem is they are not accessible from the top nodes.
  
  I have the top nodes und the subnodes, but how I link/join the subnodes to the top nodes?? I can read the top nodes and subnodes only separably. I want to display the complete hierarchy of the health explorer: the parent and his childs. I suppose over some ID??
  
  Or exist a method, where I get the root element? So that I iterate from root-node until last subnode?
  
  Regards

  Hi, Yes these examples are for scom 2007 but logic is the same. And there is also an updated article for scom 2012 where they use GetStateHierarchy method.

  As I can see you miss the situation when a node item has class type ExternalRollupMonitoringState but not MonitoringState, so if the class type is ExternalRollupMonitoringState you should check other subcomponents by executing GetExternalStateHierarchies method. 

  You can check my quick and dirty powershell script (without treeview!) and can easily update it to C#

  function GetChildNodes ($ChildNodes) 
  {
  $Local:StateHierarchy=@()
  $Level=$Level+1
  
  foreach ($child in $ChildNodes)
  {
   
  $hash = @{ Level = $Level; MonitorName = $child.Item.MonitorDisplayName; HealthState =$child.Item.HealthState; }
  $obj = New-Object PSObject -Property $hash; $StateHierarchy += $obj
   
   if ($child.TotalChildNodeCount -gt 0)
              {
  
                  GetChildNodes($child.ChildNodes) 
  
              }
              else
              {
              if ($child.item.gettype().name -eq "ExternalRollupMonitoringState") 
                  {
                  GetChildNodes ($child.item.GetExternalStateHierarchies())
                  }
              }
  
  }
  $StateHierarchy
  }
  
  function GetState([Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Monitoring.MonitoringObject]$mObject)
  {
  
  $state = $mObject.GetStateHierarchy()
  
    if ($state.ParentNode -ne $null){}
              else { 
                    $hash = @{ Level = 0; MonitorName = $state.Item.MonitorDisplayName; HealthState =$state.Item.HealthState; }
                    $obj = New-Object PSObject -Property $hash; $StateHierarchy += $obj
                   }
  
              if ($state.TotalChildNodeCount -gt 0)
              {
  
                    $All= GetChildNodes ($state.ChildNodes)
                    $All+=$StateHierarchy
                    $All | Sort-Object Level,MonitorName, HealthState | Out-GridView
  
              }
  
  }
  
  $instances=Get-SCOMClass -name "Microsoft.SystemCenter.NTService" | Get-SCOMClassInstance 
  GetState $instances[0]
