Forefront and MOM agents not playing nice on the MOM console
These annoying errors keep popping up in my Forefront MOM console from Forefront MOM agents on random machines around the network.

Ms have a paper on these typical errors

My fix to sort out 50+ alerts of these in one fell swoop:
From the MOM console sort the errors by type, select them, right click and copy select text. Drop it in to a test editor, clean it up and get a list of all the computer names.
Drop the computer names in to a text file,each on their own line and save (FailedTargets.txt)
To cheat and do a copy of quick fixes, my “Superior” batch skills came to the fore and I knocked this up with PSexec. Could have been done with SMS, login scripts or a proper script but quick and dirty …
Example:
psexec.exe to @FailedTargets.txt -c MOMclient.bat
MOMclient.bat contents
REM Sets the correct dependence on the MOM service
sc config mom depend= rpcSs/eventLog/winmgmt
REM Stops then starts the MOM service on the target machine
net stop MOM
net start MOM
