Changing the Default Under Notification Command Format Generates Error Message About Event 21271 (295982)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Operations Manager 2000

This article was previously published under Q295982

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Management Console (MMC), when you change the Default Command setting under Notification Command Format, the Consolidator may generate the following error message:
Event ID:21271
Source: OnePoint Operations
Type: Information
Description: The Consolidator detected a change to the rules for one or more computers, and will begin downloading the new rules and configuration settings to the affected computers.
The Consolidator may then needlessly load configuration information and propagate processing rules down to the agents.

STATUS

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

MORE INFORMATION

When the Consolidator updates configuration information after you change the Default Command setting, the Consolidator pushes processing rules down to all the agents in your environment. This affects your network.

If you have agents in a wide area network (WAN) that has slow links, consider making configuration and rule changes in batches, which are transmitted dynamically at the next heartbeat interval. If you make changes only once a day, new configurations go out to agents only once a day.

To gain access to the Default Command setting, expand Operations Manager, expand Configuration, expand Global Settings, and then click Notification Command Format.
