Hey guys,

Sorry about the long post here, but I am going to make sure I give you all of the details that I know so we can better resolve this issue. I have been in the process of reinstalling Microsoft Operations Manager 2005. I had to reinstall it because there were severe database issues which were posing a problem from getting alerts. We weren't able to install the agent then either. During this time, I have been able to install the MOM Agent on all servers but 2, and both of them have ISA Server 2004 on them (don't ask why, they both have a different purpose! :)

The servers are named Gateway1, and Gateway2. I get the following error messages on them respectively when I try to install the agent:

Gateway1 said:
The MOM Server failed to install agent on remote computer gateway1.DTPD1.COM.

Error Code: -2147023174
Error Description: The Agent could not contact the MOM Server.
Microsoft Installer Error Description: No Description Available

Gateway2 said:
The MOM Server failed to perform specified operation on computer "gateway2.DTPD1.COM".

Error Code: -2147023174
Error Description: The RPC server is unavailable.

After researching everything that was going on, I have come across two Microsoft KB Articles. The first one (909031) explains how to enable "EnablePMTUDiscover" in the registry. Following the instructions in this guide yielded no results. The second one (933989) explains how to make sure RPC is not enforced, how to setup the proper rules to get everything going, etc. This also yielded no results.

When going over both of the KB articles had failed, I began to try other ways. I found a utility for MOM in the resource kit that will scan a remote computer's ports and will pass or fail what it can and can't do for the agent install. That log is as follows:

I have even gone as far as to monitor events coming from MOM to Gateway1, found a couple of protocols that were unknown and therefore denied... I listed those protocols (137, 1270-1272, 1433-1434) that were denied by the Default Block All rule, and have allowed access to them. I even went and allowed unrestricted access between Gateway1 and MOM. I've performed all the same steps on Gateway2 and I'm still getting nothing. I haven't performed a scan on Gateway2, but unfortunately Gateway1 is more important to get working right now. Can someone please assist me with what the problem may be?

Again, sorry for the long post!

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
