Server Manager problem: Online - Data retrieval failures occurred
Hello, I'm using Windows Server 2022 and I have this problem: data retrieval on Server Manager. Is there a fix for this issue? Obs: - this is a test lab - all servers are domain members - I'm c...
DG00 I am sorry to hear this. I had a fair number of our customers affected.
For me it is gone when WS 2022 (target OS you want to manage remotely) is patched.
The only situation where I still see the issue is the WS 2025 DC created by mslab, when added to a remote Server Manager. Doesn't matter the remote OS or LCU.
I have reported everything with SR 2411120050002891. Including videos and repro steps.
As you are still affected, please open a business support case and refer to the SR number above in the case description.
I see no other way to get yours addressed.
Could you please try the following and report back:
- spin up a VM with WS 2022 latest ISO + LCU 10-2024 or newer (alternatively WS 2025, when licensed)
- Join OS to the same network and domain of the cluster
- Add your cluster / nodes to Server Manager on this VM
- Does this change anything?
- Have you tried any of the many workarounds on the cluster or is it in default state?
Hi Karl,
So we just patched up to the November CU, and are still affected by this it seems.
DCs- OS:WS 2019 Version 1809 (OS Build 17763.6532)
Cluster Nodes 01-03 - OS: WS 2022 Version 21H2 (OS Build 20348.2849)
We're just managing directly from one of the cluster nodes. Issue occurs on every restart of a node.

from latest reports it is still unclear that the marked solution does not work for everyone. The situation is very inconsistent. The SR has been archived with no solution.
Hi Karl,
It's not the VMs that fail to report, and perhaps this is just my situation, but it's the physical hosts encountering this error when part of a cluster.
I have a test host (physical), on WS 2022 with the latest CU (12-2024), and it experiences the same issue when joined to the cluster. On each restart there are data retrieval failures. Our current workaround is that before each restart on a physical host, we set:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Channels\Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-IoTrace/Diagnostic] "Enabled"=dword:00000000
This value reverts back to "1" on reboot, and that clears the data retrieval errors until next reboot, so at least it's very predictable/able to be replicated on demand.
If you feel there is value in conducting the same experiment with a VM acting as a node, and joining the cluster, I can do that as well.
Either way, thank you for all the assistance you've been providing on this issue.
