MOE LinkedClone provisioning fails with SCVMM
LinkedClone provisioning fails randomly with SCVMM. This is because of the WMI (MsCluster)
Namespace issue, where WMI fails to fetch the HA enabled property from the WMI class.
Type or name syntax of the registry key value IndigoTcpPort under
Software\Microsoft\Microsoft System Center
The registration of SCVMM server might fail with HP VMM, even if the login credential is correct.
This is because, the Matrix Web service is not able to execute the powershell command on the
SCVMM server. You might receive a login failure information in the Matrix Web service logs. To
confirm the behavior, when you open the powershell on SCVMM server and try to re-execute the
powershell command, you receive command failure error message.
To resolve this issue, change the IndigoTcpPort item value to 1fa4, (which is hexadecimal for
8100) under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft System Center
