    We got this SCOM error last week along with a ton of the following warnings. Microsoft claims that this is a known issue that was supposed to be fixed with SCOM 2007 SP1 / SCOM 2007 R2, but I still encountered it running R2.

    This is caused by a high number of sql queries to the Datawarehouse database. The work around is to add an override for the Event Data Collector rule in the Data warehouse connection server scope.
    The Execution Attempt Timeout Interval Seconds property was changed from 0 to 6 and the Max Execution Attempt Count was set from 0 to 10. Restart the System Center service on the RMS and any gateway servers.

    I noticed one day that I stopped getting any SCOM alerts in my System Center Operation Manager 2007 R2 environment. As part of my troubleshooting I found a ton of the following warnings in the Operations Manager Event viewer. I contacted Microsoft tech support and discovered that my RMS was in maintenance mode. I had put my RMS in maintenance mode for 30 minutes when I did some windows updates, but it never come out of it. After stopping maintenance mode and re-starting the System Center Management service on the Root Management Server, alerts started coming in again. The Microsoft tech told me that you should never put your RMS in maintenance mode and when I asked to have some documentation where it said that, he said it does not exist. This a tip that they have discovered in their troubleshooting. During this time the RMS was unable to process agent requests, so the agent holds on to the notifications in a buffer until it can communicate with the RMS again. If you are getting this warning on the RMS there is a good chance that you lost any alerts that the agent was unable to store in the buffer.

    I have been trying to get System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 to discover an IBM BladeCenter chasis through a gateway and I finally figured it out.
    First On the device you want to monitor, set your SNMP public community string to point to the IP address of the SCOM Gateway server.
    In the SCOM 2007 Administration console, choose Network Devices in the Discovery Managment Wizard choose network device and click next.
    In the next screen enter the IP address of the network device you want to monitor and under the mangment server drop down choose the gateway server who’s IP you entered in the SNMP string earlier. The device should now be discovered.
