SCOM 2007 R2 and patching

Hello,

For the second time after the monthly patching the RMS was not sending any email anymore after the server was patched.

I tried a restart of the service it did not do anything... no email processed...

I tried a reboot same issue ... no email processed...

I have to stop the "HealthService" service, rename the "\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007\Health Service State" folder, start the "HealthService" service to make the email processing work again...

Any idea why this is happening?

Thanks,

Dom
