I just installed System Center Essentials 2007. On the SCE Console, I added Computers. Now, when I look at "Agent Health State" in Monitoring, it shows all of the Computers "healthy', but most of them "Not monitored". I disabled the firewall for those specific Computers, still no luck. I can see the clients, but can't monitor. Why and how can I fix that?

Hello Samraimi, Please open SCE console and navigate to monitoring -> Computers, is it shown as "Healthy" or "Not monitored" for every managed computers? If it is "Not monitored", check if there's any error event logged in the OpsMgr Event log. Please post the error events here for further research. For general "Not Monitored" question, please refer to these similar threads: Troubleshooting ‘Unknown’ software and update status, ‘Not yet contacted’ and lack of hardware and software inventory http://blogs.technet.com/b/systemcenteressentials/archive/2010/03/29/troubleshooting-unknown-software-and-update-status-not-yet-contacted-and-lack-of-hardware-and-software-inventory.aspx Agent Monitored Clients are not Monitored http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/systemcenterdeployment/thread/3b6e4de8-fbab-4140-9463-72739c96bb67 Thanks,Yog Li -- Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

Except a few, most of the computers states: Healthy, but they are not monitored. We checked Group Policy, Firewall settings and whatever else we could think of. Still nothing. It sees the computers, but not pushing any updates or doing anything. And i don't see much in the event log.

We fixed it almost. We had to manually uninstall each agent in administration and re-add them again manually. Now 2/3 of the computers are being monitored. Except for the rest that somehow we can not add them to SCE. We get the error that"can not be discovered". So we are stuck there.
