SYMPTOMS
When you receive an error message in Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2000, you may not see the same event description that is displayed in Event Viewer. For example, MOM may display the following error message:

DCOM got error &quot;%2147746132&quot; from the computer  when attempting to activate the server:

{9F53525D-62DA-11D2-84AF-00A0C9861EAB}

However, Event Viewer may display the following event:

Event Type: Error

Event Source: DCOM

Event Category: None

Event ID: 10006

Description:

DCOM got error &quot;Class not registered &quot; from the computer  when attempting to activate the server:

{9F53525D-62DA-11D2-84AF-00A0C9861EAB}

&quot;Class not registered&quot; is not displayed in MOM. Therefore, the error message that appears in MOM is less descriptive and less helpful than the event description that appears in Event Viewer.

The same problem occurs with at least two Active Directory event messages, Event ID 565 and Event ID 566. For event ID 565, MOM displays the following error message:

Event ID: 565

Date: 6/21/2001

Time: 9:51:08 AM

User: Domain\USER

Computer:

Description:

Object Open:

Object Server: DS

Object Type: %{bf967aa5-0de6-11d0-a285-00aa003049e2}

Object Name: %{a262f519-7302-470b-8686-5fb7a1a517ac}

...

However, Event Viewer displays the following event:

Event ID: 565

Date: 6/21/2001

Time: 9:51:08 AM

User: Domain\USER

Computer:

Description:

Object Open:

Object Server: DS

Object Type: organizationalUnit

Object Name: OU=TEST,DC=DCNAME,DC=COM

...

Hotfix installation information
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

You must install this hotfix on each computer for which at least one of the following conditions is true:
 * The computer hosts a Microsoft Operations Manager Consolidator (CAM).
 * The computer hosts a manually installed Microsoft Operations Manager agent.

After you install this hotfix, you must set the entry for the following registry subkey to enable MOM 2000 to resolve security GUIDs and SIDs:

To enable MOM 2000 to resolve security GUIDs and SIDs, set the entry for this subkey as follows:

Value name: ResolveGUID

Value type: REG_DWORD

Value data: 1

A value of 1 enables MOM 2000 to resolve security GUIDs and SIDs. A value of 0 (zero) turns off this functionality.

Note When you install this hotfix on a Microsoft Operations Manager Consolidation (CAM) server, the installation program starts an agent update to all currently managed servers. The update process uses the following steps:
 * At the next scheduled Managed Computer Scan operation, the list of agent computers that must be updated appears in the Pending Installation folder in the Configuration Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in. If you must start the Managed Computer Scan immediately, start it.
 * The deployment of the updated agents must be approved on the Microsoft Operations Manager Consolidator (CAM) computer.
 * The deployment of the updated agent occurs for each managed node only after this deployment has been approved in the Pending Installation folder.



WORKAROUND
If an incomplete error message is displayed in MOM, refer to Event Viewer for more information.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
