Thanx for this post. I'm going to try this. This needs a couple of days to find out if it work.

Hi Kevin,

I got quite a lot alerts for "Script or Executable Failed to run" on almost every server. there are two types of such alert, please see below -

The process started at 5:11:48 PM failed to create System.Discovery.Data, no errors detected in the output. The process exited with 4294967295 Command executed: "C:\WINNT\system32\cscript.exe" /nologo "GetServerNames.vbs" {A18B826D-DFA9-DC21-F94C-68A8A95ADD4C} {86302D45-B0E8-BD9E-F57C-1580AC05ADEB} deuntp008.wwy.wrigley.net Working Directory: C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007\Health Service State\Monitoring Host Temporary Files 158\1517\ One or more workflows were affected by this. Workflow name: Microsoft.Office.Sharepoint.Server.2007.MOSS.Server.Discovery Instance name: DEUNTP008 Instance ID: {86302D45-B0E8-BD9E-F57C-1580AC05ADEB} Management group: MSMOM

The Event Policy for the process started at 8:07:43 PM has detected errors in the output. The 'StdErr' policy expression: \a+ matched the following output: C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007\Health Service State\Monitoring Host Temporary Files 33\433\Collect_Server_Information.vbs(328, 3) Active Directory: An invalid directory pathname was passed Command executed: "C:\WINNT\system32\cscript.exe" /nologo "Collect_Server_Information.vbs" cnguap013 Working Directory: C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007\Health Service State\Monitoring Host Temporary Files 33\433\ One or more workflows were affected by this. Workflow name: Collect_Server_Information Instance name: cnguap013 Instance ID: {F949270A-16BA-29B1-428F-63BCB20BA774} Management group: MSMOM

So I think it's impossible for me to install the hotfix for all server, it may be something I can do on SCOM2007 SP1?

I get quite a few of these as well, even after R2 was installed; 2003 as well as 2008 servers. Most of them seem to be related to Health VBS scripts.

Does anybody have any ideas to get these corrected?

Is this indicative of a true server performance issue or a matter of how the MPs were written? If it's the MPs, I would have expected that MS to have known about this and corrected it by now.

Larry - did you read my section on how to troubleshoot these?

Have you discovered a pattern?

What is a health VBS? Can you give some examples of exact script names?

Did you have high repeat counts, or low? Is WMI healthy on the server?

Have you updated the hotfixes I mentioned on 2003?

I cant tell what steps you have taken to troubleshoot these, or specifically what scripts and repeat counts from your post. I'll try to help if I can.

Is it just me, or does the hotfix ONLY apply to i386? How can I update WSH to version 5.7 for 64bit OS Windows 2003?

Click the "show for all platforms" in the download - there is one for x86 and one for x64.
