Ok, It WAS .NET. I just cloned a 2003 Vanilla VM with SP2, and installed .NET 2.0 from Windows Add/Remove Programs. That was it, the Eminentware WMI agent worked fine.

Problem is, my VMWare Workstation Lab is small and can only handle two VM's running at once. So currently testing Patch Manager (which is on a VM) installing patches to a 2008 R2 Vanilla VM. That, by the way, is working just fine. So once that is complete I'll get the 2003 Vanilla VM running and put .NET on it and then try…

I'm going to set up the vanilla VM today. I'll reply here when I get a chance to test the pacthing after putting .NET on it.

Yes maybe it was .NET. Maybe I will try another 2003 Out of the box server and JUST install .NET on it and see what that does. Thanks.

New WSUS. New test server that had never reported into any WSUS or Windows Update.

Yes but that is on the Patch Management server. It shouldn't be a pre-req on the server RECEIVING the patches...

Hi. When you say "it could cause performance issues" do you mean App Insights for AD? If so then what is the point of the product? 

It looks like the issue was something on the 2003 server. Since I was doing an Eval, the server I was attempting to patch was an 'out of the box' 2003 server with only SP2. No other patches. Well at least ONE patch needed to be on the 2003 box before it would allow Patch Manager to access it, because I ran a manual update…

This is awesome! Can you tell me how many hours/days the report goes back? I'm not great with SQL so I can't tell by looking. Thanks!
