FIX: Application Center 2000 Replication of Event Filters May Fail on Windows 2000 SP2 (304599)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Application Center 2000, when used with:
    • the operating system: Microsoft Windows 2000 SP2

This article was previously published under Q304599

SYMPTOMS

If you run Application Center 2000 on Windows 2000 with Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 installed and you have created your own event filters, those filters are not automatically synchronized across the cluster. Cluster members will use default filter settings instead of your custom filters.

CAUSE

Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 exposed a problem with a malformed Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) query in Application Center 2000, which generated an error 0x80042002 (WBEM_E_REGISTRATION_TOO_PRECISE).

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, upgrade to Application Center 2000 Service Pack (SP) 1. For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

To work around this problem, whenever you create or change a custom filter, open the Application Center Administration tool, right-click the cluster node, and then click Synchronize Cluster from the pop-up menu.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

This problem was corrected in Application Center 2000 Service Pack 1.

MORE INFORMATION

By default, Application Center logs Application Center error and warning events, Windows error events, and Health Monitor error events. If you do not change the default event filter settings, those settings will continue to be synchronized across the cluster after Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 is installed.
