SCOM agent terminates with error -2164195332

SCOM agent on a server fails to start and generate error -2164195332.

The event id looks like this:

Event Type:    Error

Event Source:    Service Control Manager

Event Category:    None

Description:

The OpsMgr Health Service service terminated with service-specific error 2164195332 (0x80FF0004).

To resolve this:

  1. Navigate to the SCOM install location:

    C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007\Health Service State\Health Service Store

  2. Delete all the files you see there. It’s the database and log files the SCOM agent maintains on the host
  3. Start the service and it will create the db itself
