Management servers that are running the release version of System Center Operations Manager 2007 do not process the agent event data from an agent of System Center Operations Manager 2007 Service Pack 1

An agent of Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 Service Pack 1 reports to management servers that are running the release version of System Center Operations Manager 2007. However, the management servers do not process the agent event data. Instead, the management servers reject the agent event data as malformed data.

This problem occurs because Operations Manager 2007 Service Pack 1 includes some changes to the event data types. The release version of Operations Manager 2007 considers the event data to be malformed.
