SCOM agent install fails Error 80070035 - the network path was not found

I have deployed SCOM 2012 agents to most servers (2008, 2008 R2, 2012, 2012R2) in our estate but some either fail to install or are not monitored. I assume the two problems are related, but for now I am concentrating on the servers that fail completely.
Installation is from the Discovery Wizard and I have about 20 servers that fail of various server versions.
So looking at one specific server that is failing to install the agent - a 2008 standard service pack 2
The firewall in on and file and printer sharing is enabled for domain, remote administration is enabled for domain
I added a specific rule to allow TCP 5723 and 5724
DCOM is enabled
I can Ping the target server from the SCOM server by both name and FQDN - both return the same IP and our DNS server has only one entry for this server
I can browse to the admin share \\server\C$ from the SCOM Server, using the same account that I specify for the agent install that is a domain admin with rights on this server (and on the other servers the agent
did install to) and the server has plenty of disk space available
I am not sure what else to look at so would welcome any ideas
Thanks

Hi Petro,
I have a Agent installation failure cheat sheet, For your error 80070035 it is said to perform a manual installation.
So i would like to understand which version of SCOM is this ? 2007 R2 or 2012 or 2012 r2 ?
Also check if your agents have the WMI service started and enabled ?
Also if yours is a SCOM 2007 R2 do you have a RMS & MS in your management group ? If yes then Pushing the agent installation from MS may cause such issue. So would suggest you push the installation from RMS.
Also check if your Network connectivity meets the minimum requirement as recommended by SCOM. Below is applicable for Both SCOM 2007 R2 & SCOM 2012 & 2012 R2.
Component A
Component B
Minimum Requirement
Root management server or management server
Agent
64 Kbps
Root management server or management server
Agentless
1024 Kbps
Root management server or management server
Database
256 Kbps
Also check if you have any Anti virus / Firewall which is blocking the install / communication. If yes disabe or add the "Monitoringhost.exe to the safe list or what your feature is.
Check if you have another IP assigned to the NIC card and remove it tempraurly andchecl.
Also post the event logs of the Agents which are in not monitored state for analysis.

1.  Check the PATH environment variable.  If the PATH statement is very long, due to lots of installed third party software - this can
fail.  Reduce the path by converting any long filename destinations to 8.3, and remove any path statements that are not necessary.
2.  The cause
could be corrupted Performance Counters on the target Agent.
To rebuild all Performance counters including extensible and third party counters in Windows Server 2003, type the following commands at a command
prompt. Press ENTER after each command.
cd

This problem occurs if the LockFileTime.txt file is located in the following folder on the remote computer:
%windir%\422C3AB1-32E0-4411-BF66-A84FEEFCC8E2
When you install or remove a management agent, the Operations Manager 2007 management server copies temporary files to the remote computer. One
of these files is named LockFileTime.txt. This lock file is intended to prevent another management server from performing a management agent installation at the same time as the current installation. If the management agent installation is unsuccessful and
if the management server loses connectivity with the remote computer, the temporary files may not be removed. Therefore, the LockFileTime.txt may remain in the folder on the remote computer. When the management server next tries to perform an agent installation,
the management server detects the lock file. Therefore, the management agent installation is unsuccessful.

    Hello Darrell,
    Have you verified the settings of Powershell virtual directories for the on-premises Exchange Servers? The following article has a list of some common issues with that virtual directory and how to correct them:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607221(v=exchg.80).aspxI would take a look at the one titled "Configure Kerberos Authentication" specifically to ensure everything
    looks good.
    As the article states you can run the Exchange BPA and it will check if any of these exist as well.

  • SqlFileStream error: The network path was not found

    I created a FileStream enabled table in a SQL2008 database, and populated some rows into it, from a SQL2000 table storing image. It's fine.
    Then I wrote a WPF application in C#, trying to access the filestream data as below code snippet:
    SqlConnection sqlConn = null;
    SqlTransaction sqlTran = null;
    try
    // ids_static_imagesTableAdapter was defined by SQL SELECT statement:
    // SELECT TOP (@x) image_name, image, image.PathName() AS image_path FROM dbo.ids_static_images
    ids_static_imagesTableAdapter imgTa = new ids_static_imagesTableAdapter();
    sqlConn = imgTa.Connection;
    sqlConn.Open();
    idsxi2011imageDataSet.ids_static_imagesDataTable imgDt = imgTa.GetData(10);
    sqlTran = sqlConn.BeginTransaction();
    SqlCommand cmdGetFsTxCtx = sqlConn.CreateCommand();
    cmdGetFsTxCtx.CommandText = "SELECT GET_FILESTREAM_TRANSACTION_CONTEXT()";
    cmdGetFsTxCtx.Transaction = sqlTran;
    byte[] fileStreamTxCtx = (byte[])cmdGetFsTxCtx.ExecuteScalar();
    foreach (idsxi2011imageDataSet.ids_static_imagesRow imgRow in imgDt)
    SqlFileStream imgSqlFileStream = new SqlFileStream(imgRow.image_path, fileStreamTxCtx, FileAccess.Read);

    sqlTran.Commit();
    finally
    if (sqlConn != null && sqlConn.State == ConnectionState.Open)
    sqlConn.Close();
    The SqlFileStream constructor throws error, states 'The network path was not found'.
    FYR, when I run the following SQL statement in SSMS:
    SELECT TOP 1 image.PathName() AS image_path FROM dbo.ids_static_images
    result as below:

    Any idea?

    Hi,
    Could you please elaborate a bit? Are SQL Server 2008 and the WPF application running on separate machines? If so, I think we need to enable the

    Hi viraj,
    Here is a KB article talking about the logged error:
    Event ID 10 is logged in the Application log after you install  Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2545227
    The cause:
    This originated in the Windows 7 SP1 DVD/ISO creation process. There was an issue in the creation process that caused a WMI registration to remain in the DVD/ISO. Since the registration is designed to work only during the DVD/ISO creation process, it fails
    to run on a live system and causes these events. These events are not indicative of any issue in the system and can be safely ignored. If however you want to prevent these events from getting generated and want to remove this specific WMI registration manually,
    please follow the steps mentioned in this article for running the workaround script.
    Please run the Fix it Tool mentioned in the above article and see if issue insists.

  • Group Policy Object "The Network Path Was Not Found"

    I should also mention even when I go to click on the currently created policies I get the same error as well, but I seem to be able to at least get into their settings if I wanted too.

    Here is the my background of my network.Try to retire a Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller (DC) and upgrading to a Windows Server 2012 R2 domain controller. Currently both server are running as Domain Controllers on the same subnet.An issue I found today was when I went to go create a new group policy object I got an error stating "The Network Path was Not Found." This happens on both the 2003 and 2012 server, so it not just related to one machine. I have done some reading on this and it seems that some people who have a similar error have an issue browsing to their SYSVOL folder for the domain. However I have no issue browsing to that.I have also looked through the even viewer and there doesn't seem to be specific errors related to this. It seems to me like it may be some type of DNS issue, but I am looking for some insight into...

  • WinRM cannot process the request. The following error occured while using Kerberos authentication: The network path was not found.

    I have two forests with a transitive on-way trust between them: PROD -> TEST (test trusts PROD). I had previously had kerberos authentication working with winrm from PROD to machines in TEST. I have verified the trust is healthy, I also verified users
    in TEST can use WINRM with kerberos just fine. Users from PROD cannot connect via kerberos to machines in TEST with winrm.
    I have verified the service has registered the appropriate SPNs. I ran dcdiag against all my PROD and TEST domain controllers and didn't find anything that would prevent kerberos from happening. I even tried disabling the firewall entirely on my TEST dcs
    but that didn't gain me anything.
    I've enabled kerberos logging but only see the expected errors such as it couldn't find a PROD SPN for the machine, which it shouldn't from what I understand, it should go to the TEST domain and find the SPN from there.
    I'm really out of next steps before I call PSS and hope someone here has run into this and could provide me some next steps.

    Hi Adam,
    I'm a little unclear about which SPNs you were looking for, in which case could you confirm you were checking that on the computer object belonging to the actual destination host it has the following SPNs registered?
    WSMAN/<NetBIOS name>
    WSMAN/<FQDN>
    If you were actually trying to use WinRM to connect to the remote forest's domain controllers, then what you said makes sense, but I was caught between assuming this was the case or you meant another member server in that remote forest.
    Also, from the client trying to connect to this remote server, are you able to telnet to port 5985? (If you've used something other than the default, try that port)
    If you can't, then you've got something else like a firewall (be that the Windows firewall on the destination or a hardware firewall somewhere in between) blocking you at the port level, or the listener on the remote box just isn't working as expected. I
    just replied to your other winrm post with steps for checking the latter, so I won't repeat myself here.
    If you can telnet to it and the SPNs exist, then you might be up against something called selective authentication which has to do with how the trust was defined. You can have a read of
    this to learn a bit more about selective trusts and whether or not it's affecting you.

  • Error Code 0x80070035 - The network path was not found, Windows Server 2008 SP2

    I have bee receiving following "error code 0x80070035 - The network path was not found" when trying to open file shares in both directions using Windows Server 2008 Standard SP2 at both ends. The issue is identical to the KB article KB958285, however the hotfix is only valid up to but not including SP2. One of the servers in question has moved several times between 2 subnets seperated by a VPN. I have tried changing settings in and around the local NIC/DNS Suffix and in the network connection sharing centre, but with no luck. Firewalls are turned off at both sites, and pings and AD queries are successful (one server is a DC). DNS is also working correctly at both sites. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
    Richard

    I thought I would add in another scenario, since this link came to the top of my list in the search engine.
    We are running 2008 R2 with SP1 (it happened without SP1 as well)
    We could not map using UNC (IP, FQDN, or netbios name).  We could ping access the other servers via other utils like event viewer and services.msc but just could not map.
    In our case it turned out to be a VMWARE issue but we still had to make a regedit change first
    You have to go to regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order\
    And add LanmanWorkstation to Providerorder
    I found on a Citrix board that citrix has an issue with this as well
    If you're running VM  here is an additional step you should do as well
    When you upgrade VMware Tools installed with HGFS from ESX 3.x to ESX 4.x, the HGFS driver may not get uninstalled properly. In this case, the virtual machine's network Provider Order tab in Network Connections
    > Advanced > Advanced Settings displays incorrect information and the virtual machine may lose network connectivity.
    To avoid this issue, uninstall VMware Tools 3.x before installing VMware Tools 4.x.
    To workaround this issue, if you have already upgraded VMware Tools:
    Click Start >
    Run, type regedit, and click OK. The Registry Editor window opens.
    Navigate to
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order\.
    Delete the reference to
    hgfs.
    Reboot the virtual machine.
    We found that if you strip out the HGFS, you do not have to reboot for the provider order tab to come back
    I hope that this saves people a lot of time.   I spent days researching this.
    This was the solution for me on 2008 R2 DC w/ Exchange.  I do not have VMWare installed but do have Hyper-V.  Thank you so much!

  • Error code: 0x80070035 The network path was not found

    "Error code: 0x80070035 The network path was not found" while trying to access another PC running Windows 7 Ultimate I searched and read dozens of similiar posts to try to resolve this issue with no success.
    The situation is, I have a router in home with 4 PC's connected. My central PC is running Windows 7 Ultimate. The others are Windows 7 Ultimate again, and 2 running XP Pro. No special Firewalls, just have Windows Firewall enabled on all PC's, and am running KasperskyInternetSecurity2010 on all. (Have disabled these on all PC's and tried to view/connect and it didnt make a difference, same error)
    Fact one: not attempting a Homegroup connection at all, just simply wishing to connect in a basic network environment where I can drag and drop files between all PC's in my Home Network or in my house , however its considered. But on the Windows 7 I am unable to view either of the XP's only the other Win7, and when I try to access that one is when I get the "Error code: 0x80070035 The network path was not found".  
    Furthermore, while troubleshooting the problem I opened a Command Prompt in all computers, then an "ipconfig" to view each ip address. Then began to ping each machine to determin connectivity. Which resulted in partial success. My main Win7 machine (which i am on now) was able to ping successfully to all machines. But all other machines were unable to ping to me (main Win7). with a 100% loss.
    So at least I determined this is most likely a helpful fact in resolving this. Going into "services.msc" I made sure that all the obvious services are started and running:
    DCHP Client, Homegroup Listener, Homegroup Provider, Link-Layer Topology Discovery Mapper, NetTcp Port SHaring Service, Network Connections, Network List Service, Network Location Awareness, TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper
    All strarted and running in Automactic mode.
    Not sure what other information I can give at this point, to help assist in fixing this problem. Please dont hesitate to ask for me for more info if needed. Ready and willing to try anything to get this working, except for reinstalling the OS. All my programs work great and do not wish to go through the drama ao reinstalling all my programs and activating them and redoing all my Adobe settings and CAD settings.
    Someone please help !

    Hi,
    In addition, I would like to suggest the following:
    Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP:
    1.    Go to “Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections”.
    2.    Right-Click on the connection and choose Properties.
    3.    Click “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Version 4” in the list.
    4.    Click Properties, and then click Advanced.
    5.    On the Advanced TCP/IP settings windows, go to “WINS” tab.
    6.    Under NetBIOS setting, click “Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP”, and then click OK.
    Thanks.

  • When I try to open up a PDF document, i get the following error message: "There was an error opening this document. The network path was not found" AArrgh please help as I need to open up my documents. Thanks.

    When I open up a PDF Document all i get is an error message saying: "There was an error opening this document. The network path was not found" I dont know how to fix this, so looking for some advice please, as I really need o open up my documents.
    Thank for any help.

    The documents I’m trying to read are already saved on my computer, under various different headings, I know that we have a server, so I only assume these documents are saved on here, as I said before I’m not good with all this techno stuff. I do my work each week ( on a payroll system) and save the documents for each company, they automatically go to the correct place. I never request for them to be saved in a certain place ( well not that I’m aware of) . I then on occasions need to open up this information, it is then that I can’t read or open the documents. We do have a tech help, but they are off sick until the 5th Jan, hence me trying to work out if I can fix this problem through this help site. Its ADOBE Reader that I’m trying to use.

  • MDT user credentials error: Invalid credentials: The network path was not found

    I have DELL E5400 and DELL Optiplex 760 pc. In the before, DELL630 is working with my MDT service, but now, DELL E5400 and DELL Optiplex 760 not working with my MDT.
    When PE loaded and go to User Credentials interface, I input the user name and password(I confirm the user name and password is correct), it will display error message "Invalid credentials: The network path was not found". I checked that the network driver is correct.
    After search some information in the website, someone said that maybe the network initializing timeout issue, so I according to Tim Quan guide to add following to startnet.cmd
    wpeutil InitializeNetwork
    ping localhost
    wpeinit
    Then I update the deploy location in MDT and then re-loaded it again, but unlucky, I still meet the same issue. I tried to use ipconfig /all command to check the network status, I couldn't find out local network connection. I click "Cancel" to check the error message, it will display"A connection to the deployment share could not be made. The deployment will not proceed. DHCP lease was not obtained for any networking device!Possible cause: check physical connection".
    It seems that PE not loaded network driver successfully, but it is very strange that the network driver is correct.
    Have someone can help me?
    Thanks a lot

  • An error occurred while reconnecting P: to \\JSERVER\Data Microsoft Windows Network: The network path was not found. This connection has not been restored.

    Almost every day when I open my computer I get this message:
    An error occurred while reconnecting P: to \  \  JSERVER\data Microsoft Windows Network: The network path was not found. This connection has not been restored.
    We then have to go through the process of resetting everything from start to finish just so I can connect to the server. There is no reason that we can find that causes this other than maybe windows updating every night. Any suggestions as to how to
    fix this? 

    it sounds like you have a network drive you are trying to map even though you are not logged in maybe in a script or task instead of backing up to :P backup to the share, make sure you have security set properly to run the task when not logged on.
    I assume you are running a backup of some sort as this is the backup forum..

  • Configure WDS error - The Network path was not found

    I'm trying to configure WDS on Server 2012 R2. The Server is a DC and hosting DHCP and DNS. When running through the wizard or via command line to configure WDS, I get a message saying "The network path was not found". The folder gets created,
    however there is no content in the folder.
    We are also getting the following event "An error occurred while trying to initialize provider from WDSMDMGR from C:\windows\system32\wdsmc.dll
    Any ideas?
    thanks.

    Hi,
    Since WDS is running on the same server with DHCP, did you set WDS not to listen to port 67 and configure DHCP option 60 PXEClient?
    These settings can be done via WDS installation wizard.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot join domain "the network path was not found"

    Hi there.
    As I wanted to install new Microsoft  Lync Server, I tried to prepare a virtual machine for this. For some reason I used a virtual machine that I tested for some another services, therefore it had some changes on it.
    As you know before installing Lync Server your client must be join a domain and when I tried to joined it I faced with this error "The following error occurred attempting
    to join the domain “ysatech”; the network path was not found "
    Before my search, I thought it was DNS problem. I checked DNS but nothing was wrong.
    I searched for it and I read some forums answers and I resolved it:
    As I said my client server had some changes, the problem was in the NIC but not about DNS or WINS. The "Client for Microsoft Networks" of
    NIC of my domain network was not checked and it must be checked.

    Check the dns setting on client and ensure the setting as below.
    1. Each workstation/member server should point to local DNS server as primary DNS and other remote DNS servers as secondary.
    2. Do not set public DNS server in TCP/IP setting of client/member server.
    3. If multiple NIC are configured disable the unrequired NIC.Check the NIC binding order too.
    This issue may occur if the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service is not running on the client computer.

    Network Path Not Found" Error Message When You Try to Add Workstation to Domain:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285182
    I will also recommend to enable the Client for Microsoft Networks.If still issue persist post the ipconfig /all details of client computer.
