KB: Event 26001 is logged regularly on Windows Server 2012 R2 host computers

[System-Center-Team]

First published on TECHNET on Jan 28, 2014

Every 30 minutes, an entry that resembles the following is logged in the Application log on a computer that is running Windows Server 2012 R2:

Event ID:      26001
Task Category: None
Level:         Error
Keywords:      Classic
User:          N/A

Description: Got null results from Select Connection from Msvm_SyntheticEthernetPortSettingData
where InstanceId='Microsoft:4DB9D08C-D75B-483A-BC3E-5AA19B5FC50B\\335614F9-B1BA-45EE-A2DD-2168B7F86CDC'

This problem occurs because of a known issue that affects the Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM 2012) Management Pack. This issue involves the rules that collect the virtual port "sent" and "received" data that appear in the virtual network dashboard. These rules use WMI v1 classes. However, these classes are not available in Windows Server 2012 R2. Therefore, the rules fail on Windows Server 2012 R2 host computers.

For instructions on how to work around this issue, please see the following:
