The file QFE_MOMEsc_4724.zip, will unzip an MSI file.
When you run the MSI this will unpack the private fix to the following path,

\Program Files (x86)\System Center\QFE_MOMEsc_4724\ or \Program Files\System Center\QFE_MOMEsc_4724\

This code change updates the following file, %ProgramFiles%\System Center Operations Manager 2007\Microsoft.MOM.UI.Common.dll, and needs to be placed on any machine where you have the OpsMgr console installed.

In order to verify this update I would like to do the following.

1) Take a copy of the current existing file and place it in a suitable directory.
2) Close down any open console and then replace the existing Microsoft.MOM.UI.Common.dll with the one you have downloaded from the URL above.
3) Please then restart the console and confirm this has corrected the issue in your environment.

Download hotfix: QFE_MOMEsc_4724

This is a great script I received from PSS working on a case.

Run against the DW and enter your server name near the bottom.

SELECT
ME.FullName,
HSO.StartDateTime AS OutageStartDateTime,
DATEDIFF (DD, hso.StartDateTime, GETDATE()) AS OutageDays,
HSO.ReasonCode,
DS.Name AS ReasonString
FROM  vManagedEntity AS ME
INNER JOIN     vHealthServiceOutage AS HSO ON HSO.ManagedEntityRowId = ME.ManagedEntityRowId
INNER JOIN     vStringResource AS SR ON HSO.ReasonCode =
REPLACE(LEFT(SR.StringResourceSystemName, LEN(SR.StringResourceSystemName)
– CHARINDEX(‘.’, REVERSE(SR.StringResourceSystemName))), ‘System.Availability.StateData.Reasons.’, ”)
INNER JOIN     vDisplayString AS DS ON DS.ElementGuid = SR.StringResourceGuid
WHERE (SR.StringResourceSystemName LIKE ‘System.Availability.StateData.Reasons.[0-9]%’)
AND DS.LanguageCode = ‘ENU’
AND ME.FullName like ‘%SERVER NAME%’   –Change name here or leave %% for ALL SERVERS
ORDER BY OutageStartDateTime

 
Result output will dispaly all of the reasons an agent went gray:

FullName OutageStartDateTime OutageDays ReasonCode ReasonString
Microsoft.SystemCenter.HealthService:ADPAPP 2012-12-23 04:59:41.300 206 0
The heartbeat from System Center Management Service is missing.

1)      Ping by FQDN from the management server to the gateway server
2)      Ping by FQDN from the gateway server to the management server
3)      Telnet from the gateway server to the management server on port 5723
4)   Validate Certificate (Client\Server and CSP’s especially)
o   Trusted Root on All GW and MS
o   OpsMgr Cert unique to each computer and imported
o   Using either 1024 or 2048 key size (2048 adds CPU overhead)
§  MOMCertImport changes this to 1024
o   2 year expiration
§  MOMCertImport changes this to 1 year
5)   Ensure all SPN’s are correctly registered for DW\DB\MS’s and services are utilizing them
6)   Ensure OperationsManger certificate is copied into Trusted Root store after MOM Cert Import
7)   Event ID 220071 and 21016 on Gateway points to Firewall, SPN or Certificate issue in most cases
8)   Installing GW as Administrator
9)   GW Approval tool run using an account with SysAdmin privileges to SQL DB
10) Ensure you are using the latest MOMCertImport and Gateway Approval Tool
11) Ensure you copy the Gateway Approval tool and the Gateway Approval Tool Config file for running Approval
12) Ensure the Gateway is not in Pending Management after manual install, just prior to approval.
13) Stop HealthService after installing Gateway role, so it doesn’t show in Pending Management if necessary.
14) Ensure no certificates exist in the OperationsManager Certificate store prior to running MOMCertImport
15) Ensure Gateway has been Approved
