Compliance Scan from SCVMM fails with Error (2927)

  • Article

Hi,

 

recently, I had some occurrences of the following error while scanning the compliance state of particular hosts or clusters from SCVMM:

 

Error (2927)

A Hardware Management error has occurred trying to contact server <hostname>  .

WinRM: URL: [https://<hostname>:5985], Verb: [INVOKE], Method: [ScanForUpdates], Resource: [https://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root/scvmm/UpdateManagement]

 

Unknown error (0x80338043)

 

Recommended Action

Check that
WinRM is installed and running on server <hostname>. For more Information use the command "winrm helpmsg hresult" and https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2742275

 

This happens because the answer of the host with the installed Hotfixes grows larger and needs to be fragmented. Here WinRM Needs to be updatedt to a later version.

To solve this problem you need to install “Windows Management Framework (WMF) 5.0” at least on your SCVMM Server.

 

At the time of this writing the Production Preview of WMF 5.0 is available at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48729

 

Cheers
