Solved Incorrect results for server details in Properties section in Monitored Entity
I am getting incorrect values for IP Address, activeDirectorySite, hostServerName for a few Monitored Entities.
Have tried get-scomclassinstance -name “Server1.fqdn.net” | fl *
as suggested by SquaredUp support and get the same wrong values which shows that it is a SCOM problem.
I don’t understand how it shows the wrong IP for example when it has never been in that range or domain.
If I go onto the server itself it has the correct IP address.
Has anyone got any ideas where I can find and correct the data that is wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Ian.

Hi Ian,
if you installed the agent on the default path I am referring to this folder:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Monitoring Agent\Agent\Health Service State
Just stop the Monitoring servce and delete the entire folder. After you start the service, the agent will pull all the management packs from the scom server and the folder will appear. – Safe procedure.
Kind regards

Had this issue on a few machines. Fixed by:
- stop monitoring service on the affected server
- deleted health state folder
- started monitoring service
Does re-running the discovery of these properties change anything?
SCOM 2012 – Manually triggering a Discovery via the SCOM Console (On Demand Discovery)
The discovery that finds these properties is: Discover Windows Computer Properties – You can find this in the authoring workspace > Management Pack Objects > Object Discoveries
You can get the object ID using this:
Get-SCOMClass -Name Microsoft.Windows.Computer | Get-SCOMClassInstance | where { $_.DisplayName -eq ‘server.domain.com’ } | fl *
Hi,
Apologies for delay in getting back to this and thanks very much for the answers.
I will try as soon as I am able and get back.
Cheers,
Ian.
