Hello, We have 3 data centers that are geographically remote from the SCOM 2012 SP1 database servers (and management severs). At each of these 3 data centers we built 1-Gateway Server. Each of these Gateway servers manages at least 200 agents.
We decided to build a 2nd Gateway server at each of these 3 remote data centers, so that we could offload 50% of the agents onto the newly built 2nd Gateway servers. After the 2nd Gateways were built about a month ago (at least 8months after the initial Gateways), we've now started "Changing primary management server" for 50% of the agents. We started small, selecting 5-8 agents at a time, then waiting 30mins or so. Most (about 90%) of the agents we've attempted so far, go from a Green/Healthy state to a Gray/UnHealthy state within that 30mins, and never become healthy. If we move those agents back, they become Green/Healthy again. The Gateway servers and the agents they manage are all located in the same AD Domain, so everything is trusted. No DMZ/Untrusted relationships in place for this.\ Any idea why 'moving' these agents between two co-located Gateway Servers, in the same AD Domain (both agents and GWs are in the same Domain), is turning them gray? Oh, I've also attempted to "Repair" these agents, but to no avail.
