Failed Job Query on Central Management Registered Servers - Host Server is not included in results

Question

The following standard query works great for showing failed jobs on servers. Executing this in Central Management Registered Servers works as expected, but the Host Server results are not listed, and the same query needs to be executed against the host server
too.
e.g.
Registered Servers are defined on Server A
Results are displayed from servers B, C, D & E - but results are not displayed for Server A.
How do we receive results from Server A without having to execute a separate query ?
DECLARE @PreviousDate datetime
DECLARE @Year VARCHAR(4)
DECLARE @Month VARCHAR(2)
DECLARE @MonthPre VARCHAR(2)
DECLARE @Day VARCHAR(2)
DECLARE @DayPre VARCHAR(2)
DECLARE @FinalDate INT
-- Initialize Variables
SET @PreviousDate = DATEADD(dd, -7, GETDATE()) -- Last 7 days
SET @Year = DATEPART(yyyy, @PreviousDate)
SELECT @MonthPre = CONVERT(VARCHAR(2), DATEPART(mm, @PreviousDate))
SELECT @Month = RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR, (@MonthPre + 1000000000)),2)
SELECT @DayPre = CONVERT(VARCHAR(2), DATEPART(dd, @PreviousDate))
SELECT @Day = RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR, (@DayPre + 1000000000)),2)
SET @FinalDate = CAST(@Year + @Month + @Day AS INT)
-- Final Logic
SELECT j.[name],
s.step_name,
h.step_id,
h.step_name,
h.run_date,
h.run_time,
h.sql_severity,
h.message,
h.server
FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory h
INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobs j
ON h.job_id = j.job_id
INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobsteps s
ON j.job_id = s.job_id
AND h.step_id = s.step_id
WHERE h.run_status = 0 -- Failure
AND h.run_date > @FinalDate
ORDER BY h.instance_id DESC

Hi vsla,
According to your description, I do a test. When I designate a Central Management Servers and create server groups, then execute statements against
 multiple configuration targets simultaneously, it
 indeed only contains the results of server groups, you need to execute again on the host server (Central Management Servers) then display the results of Central Management Servers, because the Central Management Server cannot be a member
of a group that it maintains.
 If you want to get all servers results by executing the statement one time. I recommend you use Local Server Groups, create new register server and add all servers to the Local Server Groups, then right click “new query
“, execute the statements, it will display all results about all servers. There are more details about administering multiple servers using Central Management Servers, you can review the following article.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb895144
